It all depends on the animal. For example, monkeys can use their strong tails to grip onto branches, while many birds use their tails to stay in balance while flying. Many animals have tails that don't really help them, but are just a part of their body.

∙ 12y agoSnow leopards use their tails for multiple purposes, the most interesting is as a scarf. Their noses are the only part of their body that isn't covered in fur, and in the subzero temperatures of the upper Himalayan Mountain Range they will wrap their tail around their body so it covers up their nose to protect it from the cold.
They scale almost completely vertical cliff faces every day, and the tail is used for balance as well. For more snow leopard information, please visit my profile page.
