From Latin 'cauda' (tail) + 'femur' (thighbone). A compound anatomical term describing relationships between the tail and hind limb regions.
In animals with tails, the muscles connecting the tail to the thigh—the caudofemoral muscles—are crucial for balance and movement, and they're super developed in kangaroos and dinosaurs that used tails as counterbalances.
