Definitions

  1. any of numerous very agile and alert New World lizards

Word origin

From whip + tail.

Used in a sentence

  • One of the most popular is the hoki, or whiptail, a bug-eyed specimen found far down in the waters around New Zealand and transformed into a major export.
  • Social status may be less important to red-necked wallabies, which, unlike whiptails, are "essentially solitary" (McEvoy 1970).
