Tail Signals: Silent Messages
LeafClan was the first to devise a system of tail signals, which are now used by all six Clans. Generally, the leader of a patrol is responsible for giving the signals; Warriors learn to keep the leader's tail in sight at all times and react at once when an order is given.
Tail help erect: stop
Tail rippling: move forward with care
Tail held erect and sweeping slowly from side to side: retreat silently
Tail pointing low, parallel to the ground and sweeping: spread out
Tail flattened: get down
Tail bobbing: enemy sighted
Tail hooked: danger
Tail pointed sharply: go that way
Tail help erect and waving from side to side: stay behind me
Tail kinked over head: follow me
