Crossword Genius

Follow the rear (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tail

I believe this is a double definition.

'follow' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'the rear' is the second definition.
(tail is a kind of rear)

(Other definitions for tail that I've seen before include "that can be cast by a lizard" , "Comet's luminous trail" , "Follow - train" , "Follow - rear part of aeroplane" , "Elongated posterior part of an animal" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
