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...
