Starfish, guinea pigs, capybaras.
Do you think snake tailed?
Basically, everything after the cloaca is the tail.
If you look at a snake skeleton, you'll can clearly see the tail is the part at the end without ribs.
Snakes evolved from lizards, and pythons still show vestiges of a pelvis and rear legs.

Yes, if a snake has a head, it also has a tail. I think every animal with a skeletal system has a tail or a coccyx.
I did a little research. I guess gorillas don't have a tail :)
Spider, bee?
Gorilla (and other Great Apes, like humans) have internal tails. See "coccyx".
