Welcome to EvOCRO (Evolutionary Origins of Cognition in Crocodiles), the EU-funded project exploring how crocodiles learn and what their minds can teach us about evolution. @evocroproject instagram.com/p/DRrbV3ACIv1/β¦

π Brave. Shy. Curious. Cautious.
We often use these words to describe people.
But can animals have personalities too?
Watch Francesca explain one of the key concepts behind EvOCRO's research.

π Things they don't teach you at university: how to move a crocodile from one area to another.
Fieldwork comes with unexpected skills.

π Adult crocodiles are apex predators, but their lives begin very differently.
Eggs and young crocodiles are highly vulnerable and can become prey for many animals, including carnivorous mammals and birds of prey.

π Nobody talks about this side of fieldwork.
Not the papers.
Not the conferences.
Just trying to keep everything running when reality gets in the way.

π CROCODILE LESSONS - Crocodiles can have between 60 and 110 teeth depending on the species. Even more impressive: they continuously replace them throughout life. An essential adaptation for predators that can easily lose teeth while hunting. #EvOCRO #CrocodileLessons #MSCA

π Crocodylus porosus has one of the strongest bites ever measured in the animal kingdom.
Its bite force can exceed 3,700 PSI β powerful enough to immobilise large prey.

Crocodile nesting varies by species π
Some dig, others build mound nests.
Temperature affects development and even sex.

Fieldwork = more than experiments π
Cleaning, managing, preparing.
Thatβs where science really happens.

Crocodiles donβt just react - they communicate π
From high-pitched hatchling calls to deep bellows, at least 13 sound types have been identified.
