This tail does NOT swing about to your side like the other fox derived tails. It will only sway gently in about the same place -OR- stand errect and swing... it sways permanently on first load (so if you like that, reload it) and stays errect like a squirrel permanently every load after that. It will wave in the air VERY FAST when triggered with "O.O" (like squirrels on alert or in danger) Works for men or women..
