I want to preface this by saying that I am not, in any way, a furry. I wish those who are all the best with it, but that’s not the angle I’m approaching this from.

That being said, I’m kinda mad that evolution took our tails.

Equal in length to my height, about 2-3cm in diameter, and scaly like a pangolin. Prehensile and strong enough to take my body weight.

It would have been epic.

I don’t want to be an anthropomorphic animal with a prehensile tail. I want humans to have prehensile tails.

Our ancestors did and I bet it fucking rocked.

Hang from tree, leap through air, using it as trim/rudder, randomly smack annoying people with it without spilling your tea.

Obviously I’m not drinking the tea while flying through the air.

I am fifty, after all, so need to limit myself to doing these things sequentially these days.

in reply to Sarah Brown

I couldn't agree more. I'd love to have a prehensile tail!
