Detailed explanation-1: -The rump or croup, in the external morphology of an animal, is the portion of the posterior dorsum – that is, posterior to the loins and anterior to the tail. Anatomically, the rump corresponds to the sacrum.

Detailed explanation-2: -Anterior (on a human)=Ventral (on other animals)=toward the belly. Posterior=Dorsal=towards the back.

Detailed explanation-3: -The tail is the section at the rear end of certain kinds of animals’ bodies; in general, the term refers to a distinct, flexible appendage to the torso. It is the part of the body that corresponds roughly to the sacrum and coccyx in mammals, reptiles, and birds.

Detailed explanation-4: -Animals stand on all fours: Anterior in humans = cranial in animals. Posterior in humans = caudal in animals. Ventral in humans – towards the front (palm), ventral in animals = directed towards the ground. Dorsal in humans-towards the back, dorsal in animals = directed towards the spine.

Detailed explanation-5: -The coccyx (PL: coccyges or coccyxes), commonly referred to as the tailbone, is the final segment of the vertebral column in all apes, and analogous structures in certain other mammals such as horses.
