🐊 Before the strike comes a choice.

Crocodilians can capture prey with a rapid forward lunge powered by the tail and a lateral movement of the jaws.

But hunting also involves deciding where and when to attack, depending on the type of prey.

🐊 Pool 4 is ready for its close-up.

New pool. New crocodiles. New faces to remember.

You gave them their names. Now meet the crocodiles behind them.

👀 Pick your favourite.

🐊 Pool 3 has entered the chat.

You helped give them names. Now we're putting faces to those names, one pool at a time.

👀 Which one would you recognise first?

Now it's becoming more true that creo ratings (stars) in EvoCreo and EvoCro 2 is a method with which tries to make you to do Creo gacha. Because rank 7+ creo are ultra rare and still one fucking rank 7+ creo needs to be given away to npc in EvoCreo 2.

4h sleep, 2 virtual meetings early in the morning, 15k by bike to go to work (30 round), training crocodiles, sitting on wet soil while writing a career development plan and planning next week...and many emails to answer!

Before scaling up, EvOCRO tests its protocols with a small sample to ensure methods work in real conditions.
Adjusting, refining, improving — this is how science moves forward.

Why crocodiles? 🐊
To understand minds, we must look beyond the usual species.
EvOCRO studies crocodile cognition — learning, adaptation, individuality. Our first blog post is out now 👇

Hello everyone, we launched the official website of #EvOCRO , we will talk about #crocodiles, #cognition and #nature ...Will you join us?
EvOCRO focus on three key aspects:
🔸 learning
🔸 cognitive flexibility
🔸 individual differences (personality, age, sex)
These insights are essential not only for science but also for conservation. See more...

and here we are, #EvOCRO webpage is live (and alive)
It took days, weeks actually, to build it. There isn't that much in it yet, simply because we are getting started!
Social media channels will also be added, so you can follow us practically anywhere.

After spending a period working with humans who didn’t really care about my academic opinions, starting EvOCRO has been a breath of fresh air since I found myself surrounded by inspiring and insightful people from all over the world who value my thoughts and contributions.
It feels fantastic!
