Adding "tail" effect to objects

Hi
I am wondering about the best approach to add some sort of “tail” that is attached to moving objects. My aim is to add an effect to Sky Safari game on Android.

Is that done through Sprite sheet or mathematical algorithms?

I’d consider attaching something like the chains from the chain demo in sample code if you’re using physics? [import]uid: 52491 topic_id: 29559 reply_id: 118695[/import]
