SCREAMING BABIES ATTRACT CROCODILES

New research from The Royal Society, an independent scientific academy of the UK dedicated to promoting excellence in science for the benefit of humanity, has found that crocodiles are “attracted” to the shrieking cries of terrified infants. (* Well thanks for telling me NOW!!!) New data released by the Royal freakin’ Society says, basically, that crocodiles respond to specific acoustic features like the high-pitched screams of babies, in addition to screeches from bonobos and chimpanzees. The research suggest that crocodiles are sensitive to the degree of distress in the vocalizations.
* If there’s one adjective I wouldn’t use for crocodiles, it’s “sensitive.”
* I just noticed, they don’t explain how they came up with these findings.
* So when you take your baby swimming in Australia, or the Nile, just explain to them why they shouldn’t scream.
* I think I’d also stay away from vuvuzelas.
* “Hey, I need a new pair of boots along with a matching belt. Can I borrow your baby?”
