Here are 10 amazing tailless animals, each with unique features:

Humans: Unlike most mammals, humans have evolved to lose their tail over time, leaving a small vestigial structure known as the coccyx (tailbone).

Bald Eagles: These majestic birds have no external tail when compared to their relatives. While they do have a small tail, it is short and serves primarily for balance during flight.

Snakes: While snakes have a tail-like structure, it's essentially a continuation of their body. They lack a distinct, segmented tail like many other reptiles.

Octopuses: Octopuses are cephalopods, and while they have a body with arms, they do not possess a tail. Their unique propulsion comes from their muscular mantle.

Frogs: Tadpoles have tails, but adult frogs lose them as they metamorphose. Their tailless bodies are adapted for jumping and swimming.

Whales: Modern whales are tailless in the sense that they lack external appendages like those of other mammals. Instead, they have flukes, which are horizontal tail structures used for propulsion.

Sharks: While sharks have tails, they are often referred to as "caudal fins," not true tails. They play an essential role in their movement but lack a distinct tailbone like mammals.

Bats: While bats are mammals, their tails are often vestigial and used mainly for balance rather than for the full function that other mammal tails serve.

Birds: Most bird species do not have tailbones like mammals. They have a small, fused tail structure used for flight control or balance.

Manatees: Also known as sea cows, manatees have a fluke-like tail, but no distinct tail as seen in terrestrial mammals.
