An anatomical muscle or muscle group that connects the tail region to the tibia or functions in coordinating tail and lower leg movement.
Latin anatomical nomenclature combining 'cauda' (tail) + 'tibialis' (relating to the shinbone). Used in comparative anatomy to name specific muscles across species.
The caudotibialis muscle is an example of how scientists name muscles by their attachments—this particular one coordinates the tail with the leg, which is especially important in animals that use their tail for balance while jumping or climbing.
