tail length
How far behind
Tail length is the measurement of an animal's tail from base to tip, a standard metric in zoology and veterinary science for describing species, assessing health, or identifying breeds: The breed standard specifies a tail length of four to six inches.
In statistics and probability, tail length describes how far a distribution's extremes extend from its center.
