The wagtail is a species of bird known for the almost constant wagging of its elongated tail. The reasons for this behavior are not really known, but differing theories and studies suggest that it may be a sign of submissiveness to other wagtails, that this behavior may help them flush out prey from hiding, or that it is a sign of vigilance to discourage potential predators.
