X-ray-absorption fine-structure measurements at the Mn $K$-edge as a function of temperature were performed on samples of La$_{1-x}$Ca$_x$MnO$_3$ and La$_{0.67}$Pb$_{0.33}$MnO$_3$. All samples have a metal-insulator (MI) transition near the ferromagnetic transition, except the Ca$_{0.5}$ sample, which does not have a MI transition. Near $T_c$ for the MI samples, the Debye-Waller $\sigma^2$ for the Mn-O atom-pair increases rapidly with temperature. This non-thermal disorder is mostly along the direction of the neighboring oxygens. These results strongly suggest small polarons which are delocalized by a finite magnetization.
