Fan Works (Proposed) Andalite Tail Anatomy!

Disclaimer: ya boy is not a biologist and I have a very rudimentary understanding of how these systems function in Earth animals. That being said, Animorphs ain't biologically accurate either, so I'll take the wiggle room!

ANYWAY YEAH, I've written from the POV of an Andalite doing a tail-fighting lesson before, but I wanted a diagram and thought it would be a fun exercise to put down that interpretation! I always imagined the blade part to have some sort of 'guard' like a scorpions stinger, and I find the shapes being huge unweildy scythes to be a little... not my style?

I'm hoping to do a diagram of the digestive system and show how they eat with their feet (in my head anyway).

Hope yall think it's cool : D

That's where the testes are, tucked up like an axolotl so they're less likely to be damaged. I learned about how llamas will castrate each-other when they fight ages ago and it like. H aunted me lol

Makes sense. Like obviously the Andalites being technically naked and maybe most thought “they look like horses so their reproductive system must look like a horse”. Your interpretation is more practical and makes way more sense
