"Indian Crocodiles Display Unusual Heroic Behavior, Sparking Scientific Debate"
Scientists in India have observed mugger crocodiles engaging in unusual behaviors, including hunting in packs, using sticks as bait, showing interest in flower garlands, and even saving a feral dog from other dogs. While these observations suggest that mugger crocodiles may be more cognitively advanced than previously believed, some experts remain skeptical, cautioning against anthropomorphizing their behaviors. The study provides anecdotal evidence of these behaviors, but more rigorous research is needed to draw definitive conclusions.
