Description
An anus that's positioned either somewhere on the tail, at the base of the tail, or closely connected to the base. Usually applied to feral characters, but also useful for distinguishing anthro characters from those with a less realistic human-like placement of the anus further away from the base of the tail. (See the Example Types section below)
In tetrapod animals, the anal canal is closely connected to the spine, and is always near where the tail branches out from the spinal column. The reason for the anus being positioned further down in tailless animals like humans and apes is the curved internal tailbone, which a character with an external tail wouldn't have. So it's a slightly more realistic approach to anatomy, though it shouldn't imply the anatomically_correct tag on it's own.

Requires the character to have a visible anus, some sort of tail (tail_feathers in the case of some avians) as well as legs, leg-like fins, or something similar. Not to be used for legless marine animals or snakes. Do not tag on characters with a single cloaca.
