in both cases, the tail is the muscle group doing the work, and movement   
of the legs are secondary.  In the case of the fast-swimming croc, the   
legs are held along the body and tail.  These are indeed what I was   
trying to say.  Sorry if it wasn't clear.   A hadrosaur walking would   
then have (the correct term-NOT wiggles) secondary motion in the tail.
