kinda, see the gills are just gill slits in the side of the neck for a short period of time while in the womb, but they aren't functional and fuse together after a short period of time, bit like how when puppies are born there eyes are closed because the first time they blinked in the womb they instantly became fused (yes, all animals with eyelids blink in the womb at least once). As for the tails, that is also true, but most babies lose them quite quickly. However, some rare cases appear where the child is born with this prenatal tail. It is not truly a tail though, as it in boneless and has no nerve endings and is mostly made of fat. One little boy in India who was born as such was revered as the reincarnated monkey god that I do not recall the name of. Such children born with these tails are sometimes caught in controversial debates on if they are proof of evolution of people from monkeys or apes. As to the best of my knowledge, all vertebrate animals go through at least a stage in the womb fitting these descriptions. Obviously, some animals keep the or one of the traits (referring to animals like amphibians, and many others). Compare this to how tadpoles have both but grow into frogs that have neither.
