In what could be a chilling spin-off to the “Monsters Inc.” movie, new research finds that crocodiles are “attracted” to the terrified cries of babies – both human and chimpanzee. In a study that claims these scaly guys can sense fear better than humans can, the data also notes, “The intensity of crocodile response depends critically on a set of specific acoustic features (mainly deterministic chaos, harmonicity and spectral prominences”. This isn’t some newfangled whim either. The latest data from Royal Society Publishing piggybacks on 2008 research which found that crocs are extraordinarily prone to “sensing distress in their prey”.
