Do people with tails have control of them?

I have no idea, but this is such an odd question; can’t wait to see responses.

though I’m not basing this on on anything I’m going to say no. Like when people are born with extra limbs they can’t use them.

Well there is a guy with six fingers on each hand and he has full control of all of them. And apparently the tails have muscle and blood vessels. so…yeah. idk though.

yeah but tails are medical anomalies the part of the brain that could control the tail might not be active and or exist Yet again not a doctor . . .nor do i have a tail so I’m pretty much just speculating.

yeah, thats understandable about the brain lacking the control of the muscle. still though im curious. lol

Tiger didn’t

just sayin

What?

Well most people can not move their ears since that is a vestigial function, but some can. So I would expect, since a tail is a vestigial body part, if there were enough people with tails that you would find some people who could move their tails while most of them could not.

I can control each eye individually. haha.

whats vestigial mean?

human vestigiality involves those characters (such as organs or behaviors) occurring in the human species that are considered vestigial – in other words having lost all or most of their original function through evolution.

o. cool like the appendix which i think had to do with eating raw meat. But since we dont anymore.

yeah wisdom teeth are vestigial too

. . .and theres some kind of third eyelid remnant too. . .that kinda grossed me out

for real?

yeah birds and fish and such still have the “third eyelid” . . . but it’s uncommon in mammals and there’s only remnants of it in humans.

@mineown Bad Tiger Woods reference.

forgive me, it’s late

WHAT..??? people have tails?? Wow…cool!

a few do.

Tails?!! Seriously, who has tails?

. . . its a medical rarity but yeah some people keep the tail they form as embryos

I learn so much here!

Only if they are Latin and can salsa dance….:)

When my youngest daughter was born, the pediatrician commented that she had a tail. On an infant, it was a little protrusion toward the top her butt crack (for want of a better descriptor) near her tailbone that looked like a little outward bulge, about 1–½ inches long and ½ inch high. The last time I looked at it was in toddlerhood, and it was not visible to the discerning eye except by specifically looking for it.

Everyone has a coccyx or tailbone.

This reminds of the frizzer question I recently discovered.

How do you come up with such a question? You’re just sitting around watching some tele and all of a sudden you think, “I wonder if people with tails can wiggle them?”

This makes me giggle. Thanks. =)

I bet that would be an awful tell while playing poker.

Yup. I can control my tails.

I would love to see a human with a tail! I have in my mind the guy from that movie Shallow Hal but I’m guessing that’s not quite what it’s like.

Perhaps all women should have tails, like cats. That way, we can use them for a new level of refined nonverbal emotional communication.

Physically you probably wouldn’t be able to because there would be no muscles to wiggle a tail. Cats and dogs have muscles that we don’t that extend to their tails. Even if your brain had the capability of knowing a tail existed there’s no way of moving it… essentially it’d just be a backwards tailbone like @PandoraBoxx said. Everyone has a tailbone (coccyx) but they curve inward and downward.

Lurve for @live_rose and @ragingloli for talking about vestigial structures. I always talk about them and no one ever knows what they are and thinks I made it up. GA to both of you!

I hope its true, it would be pretty awesome to see this guy swishing his tail around. Actually, it is totally awesome. (Immature, much? I like to think I still have remnants of the childhood I prematurely gave up)

@belakyre this week I saw a woman walking in her office’s parking lot, with hair that went below the back of her knees. She had it pulled back like a pony tail, and a pony’s tail was exactly the effect while she walked. It was the most erotic thing I have seen all year.

@filmfann
closet furry?

@sevenfourteen I am pretty sure they do have muscles

hmm she had like a hairy tale so then it looked like she had long hair

Yes they do I had a brothdeffext were I had a tail but couldnt move I was laugh at until imgot it secury removed

I mean brith deffect
