Why do almost all vertebrates have tails, but not apes and frogs?

Why do almost all vertebrates have tails, but not apes and frogs?

And of course, frogs have a perfectly normal and prominent chordate post-anal tail as juveniles.

Vertebrates are chordates and all chordates have, as part of the defining body plan of the phylum, a post anal tail.

And apes and frogs are no exception. Both still have the lost anal tail. It is just shortened and entirely hidden inside the adult body. But you can still see it in their skeletons.

Why did Democrats echo that Joe Biden was greater than FDR and should be put on Mt Rushmore? Why did Democrats vote for Biden blindly in the primaries and deny he was mentally impaired? Was it the lying media, or are Democrats ignorant and gullible?
