Most of the "higher evolved" animals I can think of have a vestigial structure or two. The most common example given is of the vestigial leg structures that can be found in the back of whales. Ostriches can't fly so i think their wings are considered vestigial. Humans have a vestigial tail bone.

Your coccyx is a vestigial structure that once extended into a tail, though now it is part of the pelvic girdle. Some children still develop tails in very rare circumstances.
