Crocodiles use both interaural level differences and interaural time differences to locate a sound source

Résumé

To explore how crocodilians locate a sound source, two Nile crocodiles (Crocodylus niloticus) were trained to swim towards an acoustic target. Using filtered versions of synthesized stimuli, the respective roles of interaural level differences (ILDs) and interaural time differences (ITDs), which are the two main cues providing information on sound source position, were tested. This study shows that crocodiles rely on both ILDs and ITDs to locate the spatial direction of a sound source and that their performance is lower when one of the cues is lacking.
