Body structure of a snake
The most characteristic aspect of the snake form is the elongate body and tail and the absence of limbs. There is no snake in which the limb remnants still retain a function in locomotion, but complete or reduced elements of the pelvis and femur remain in many snake families, including the boa and python families.

Skeletal structure of a crocodile
In general, the body form of crocodilians is "lizard-like". They have a long tail and the limbs are short and straddled sideways from the body rather than being erect beneath it, as in mammals. The elongated snout of crocodilians is probably one of their most distinctive features
