How do alligators tail move?

Alligators' tails move primarily through a lateral motion, propelling them effectively through water. The powerful muscles along the tail allow for strong strokes, enabling them to swim swiftly and maneuver easily. On land, their tails can also be used for balance and support, but their primary mode of locomotion involves their legs. This unique tail movement is a key adaptation for their semi-aquatic lifestyle.
