English term or phrase: tapering along its length
Necesito ayuda, please

no me sale nada que quede bien para poner este "its lenght"

la frase describela cola de un perro y dice lo siguiente:

the tail joins at the level of the back, continuing in a sinle straight line, tapering along its lenght

La cola se une al nivel de la espalda en una línea recta continua disminuyendo gradualmente a lo largo de su extensión??
