What is the function of the wolf's tail?

The wolf's tail has the function of maintaining body balance and can straighten and increase the driving force when running wild. Then why is the wolf's tail drooping at ordinary times? The wolf hangs its tail and clamps between its legs, which can effectively reduce the smell and signals around its anus and reduce the enemy's detection. The smell from each wolf's anus is special and unique, so it clips its tail in order not to let other wolves find themselves.

Wolves are gregarious animals that can be classified into hierarchies, and holding their tails is an important signal. Low-status wolves show humility in front of high-status wolves. If they are two wolves of higher status, they will not clip their tails, but will tilt them up and expose the smell for each other to smell.
