Tails' Tales

Tails are everywhere, at animal shows, in zoos, museums, the sea, aquariums and on pets and wildlife. Most of the two million species of animals and many of the 4800 species of mammals have part of their body that can be considered a tail by its position or movement. This book looks at some of the creatures that possess tails, what they do with them and what possible use they have. It also looks at examples of mythological creatures with tails, the tails we eat, where tails are mentioned in literature and sayings and words associated with the word tails. It's all about tails, so if you haven't got a tail and feel a little bit left out, find out what you're missing and read 'Tails Tales'.
