We report on the search for overall kinematical or structural conditions thathave allowed some Milky Way globular clusters to presently develop tidal tails.For this purpose, we build a comprehensive catalogue of globular clusters withstudies focused on their outermost regions and classified them in threecategories: those with observed tidal tails, those with extra-tidal featuresdifferent from tidal tails and those without any signature of extended stellardensity profiles. When exploring different kinematical and structural parameterspaces, we found that globular clusters - irrespective from the presence oftidal tails, or any other kind of extra-tidal features or the absence of them -behave similarly. In general, globular clusters whose orbits are relativelymore eccentric and very inclined respect to the Milky Way plane have undergonea larger amount of mass-loss by tidal disruption. The latter has alsoaccelerated the internal dynamics toward a comparatively more advanced stage ofevolution. These outcomes show that it is not straightforward to find anyparticular set of parameter space and dynamical conditions that can definitelypredict tidal tails along globular clusters in the Milky Way.
