Definition
A secondary or opposing tail-like appendage, or in some contexts, the concluding section that mirrors or opposes an earlier section.
Etymology
From counter- + tail. Tail comes from Old English tægel. This is a rare or specialized term, more common in zoological or artistic contexts to describe symmetrical or opposing structures.
Kelly Says
Some fish and lizards have countertails—a secondary tail-like fin that helps them maneuver in water or provides camouflage by confusing predators about which end is the head!
