Tails are not considered limbs; they are distinct appendages that serve different functions. Limbs, such as arms and legs, are typically used for movement and manipulation, while tails primarily assist with balance, communication, and sometimes locomotion in certain animals. Tails are composed of vertebrae and muscle, whereas limbs are structured differently, involving joints and a variety of bones. Thus, while both are appendages, they have different anatomical and functional characteristics.
