Without a tail; lacking a tail or tail-like appendage.
From Greek 'a-' (without) + 'oura' (tail). Used primarily in zoological classifications to describe animals or organisms that have no tail structure.
Scientists use 'anour' to describe tailless species, but the Greek root 'oura' is also the origin of 'dinosaur' (terrible tail) and 'apatosaurus' (deceptive tail)—all from the same ancient word!
