Headline Of The Day

This one, from NewScientist, is a bit distressing, as it implies so much:

Crocodiles can sense how distressed human babies are from their cries

The tagline is of no help in quieting one’s nerves:

Predatory reptiles move quickly and aggressively towards the sound of babies crying and can tell if they are in genuine distress and so potentially vulnerable

The implication that primate babies have been a frequent snack is a bit frightening, especially if you are one who believes we’ve badly damaged nature in our efforts to achieve and maintain safety.
