the Sphinx has a tail! well, I guess that makes sense, since it is half man half lion...
which can be viewed if you approach the Giza complex from the south.
photo from this website of the right foot and tail...
the website has lots of neat stuff on Egypt, including some quicktime panoramas of Giza and other areas.
another factoid: The Sphinx of Mesopotamia has wings.
as did the sphinx that Oedipus overcame in the Greek legend.
