They Can Sense A Heartbeat From Far Away
Have you ever heard your own heart pounding in your chest? Probably, but rest assured, you’re usually the only one who can hear it. Unless there’s a saltwater crocodile nearby. These creatures can sense a mammal’s heartbeat from a long distance; up to one kilometer away (half a mile). Not only do they have super powerful senses, but they have one of the most acute senses of touch in the animal kingdom. Apparently, “the crocodilian sense of touch is concentrated in a series of small, pigmented domes that dot their skin all over their body” (News).
