Are human beings appendix bird gizzards and lizards tails all examples of vestigial organs?
Yes, they are. Vestigial organs are remnants of structures that were functional in ancestral species but no longer serve a clear purpose in the organism. Examples include human appendix, bird gizzards, and lizard tails.
What is opposite of vestigial organs?

How many vestigial organs are there in the human body totally?
There are several vestigial organs in the human body, including the appendix, wisdom teeth, and the coccyx (tailbone). The exact number of vestigial organs may vary depending on interpretation and definition.
Do plants have vestigial organ?

What type of feet do seal have?
Flippers.
How do flippers help a seal do?
from kirra
Do whales have vestigial legs?
No, whales do not have vestigial legs. They evolved from land-dwelling mammals that had legs, but over time, their legs became adapted into flippers for swimming.

vestigial organs like the appendix which is vestigial in man
Do wolves have vestigial organs?
Yes, like all animals, wolves do have some vestigial organs. One good example is the dew claw.
