This area is often used for balance and can be a powerful weapon when the animal is threatened or feels the need to defend itself. Animals with strong tails, such as certain species of monkeys or scorpions, can deliver painful and potentially lethal strikes with their tails. Therefore, the base of the tail is considered the most dangerous part of their body.
