I can't believe you got me on this one! Wait, I need another cup of coffee - better yet, another pot!!!
Very clever teaser.

Got me!!!
funny one i got tricked
What about animals with no tail? =0
Nice That fooled me by a mile nah but still nice one.
wat about apes, they don't have tails?
Tricky tricky!
What if a lizard dropped its tail in defense to confuse the predator, and then drank? Good teaser
Oh my goodness, I fell for this one...
I'm sorry but I this one was pretty dumb.
I LOVED that puzzle. I think it was funny and I think every one falls for it! Of course I had no clue, but it was a trick question, and just meant as a joke! Good one - thanks! Started my day off on a bright note!
I also did not care for this teaser. As stated above, there are lots of animals that have no tails. A human is part of the Animal Kingdom, and I have yet to see any with tails.
Also, in my opinion anyway, this is more of riddle than trick question and should have been in that category.

what about the animals that don't have tails?
I see the pedants are out in force. The answer is 'all animals that have a tail'.
This is as bad as the question: What month has 28 days? They all do!
I got this one before finishing reading it. I guess that raising 3 sons you get to hear many variations of this joke.
Humans, chimps, gorillas, orang-utans... none of them have tails. Good teaser still.
Oh my gosh, I got this one easily. I thought it was pretty obvious, but I do know what is easy for some is hard for others so on this one I feel pretty good. Humans have tailbones. My sister had hers operated on so that is how I know. Love all the comments also.
I can think of many more animals that don't have tails: Starfish, Octopuses, Jellyfish, Sponges, insects, spiders, worms, sea anemones... when you look at the statistics, tails are actually pretty rare in the animal kingdom.
You guys! The answer doesn't have to be so precise. The fact isn't that 'all animals WITH TAILS' drink and eat.' It's the fact that 'all animals drink and eat.' I mean, it's implied. It really is. Least I thought it was a good teaser, regardless of the wording for the answer.
Why is everybody picking this teaser apart. It was a trick question, and meant to amuse you not confuse you! Enjoy a good laugh and quit your nit picking! Sheesh!

Sorry about it coming up twice. I made a boo, boo!
Fun and funny.
Good teaser, I really liked it.
Did you know that the kangaroo rat doesn't need to drink water to survive? Seems it lives to be an exception to this teaser.
I agree with Babe on this one. The answer was obvious to me right away since it was a trick question.
You tricky devil. I OVED being fooled.

Since it was a trick question, I looked for any way I could intentionally misinterpret the statement. Sure enough, that was the answer. Meh, not bad, but not great.
That was dumb!
I thought it may be an elephant, as the trunk is the tail end of a sedan?
