Its Tail
In proportion to its body size, the tail of the creature above appears larger than that of
the rhinoceros. Its base is about 1/2 the diameter of its hind legs, and
only slightly smaller than its front legs. Its tail droops
down and away from its body, and appears to touch the
ground. Note also that the end of its tail is horizontal
to the ground -- and that it appears to go beyond the
drawing: meaning that its end is not depicted. This explains why there are no spikes
on it.

of its tail is slightly higher from the ground than its belly.
Note also that its tail is perpendicular to the ground. Its
