Crocodiles in Australia have been whipped into a sex frenzy by the sound of helicopters flying overhead according to scientists.<\/p>\n

The massive reptiles at a crocodile farm in Queensland took the thumps from the rotors of Chinooks flying overhead to be the roar of a rival male, according to one theory.<\/p>\n

Spurred on by the apparent presence of a large male, the saltwater crocodiles immediately swarmed nearby females leading to a “romp in the swamp”.<\/p>\n

Researchers also presented the hypothesis that the thunderous rotor noise had the animals believing the wet season was underway which marks the annual start of the mating period.<\/p>\n

Thunderstorms are known to be an aphrodisiac for saltwater crocodiles, and so are the military chinooks that frequently fly above the farm according to the owner.<\/p>\n

Koorana Crocodile Farm owner John Lever told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation: “We had a big Chinook that came down low because the guys wanted to take some pictures of the crocodiles.<\/p>\n

“They were hanging out the door \u2026 and of course, Chinooks have got a big \u2018thump, thump, thump\u2019, like that.<\/p>\n

“All of the big males got up and roared and bellowed up at the sky, and then after the helicopters left, they mated like mad.”<\/p>\n

A crocodile expert from Charles Darwin University lent support for the theory that the sound of the Chinooks trick the crocs into believing the wet season has arrived.<\/p>\n

Dr Cameron Baker told ABC: “They\u2019re probably using it as a bit of a cue to say: \u2018Hey the wet\u2019s coming\u2019 \u2026 and it\u2019s a good time to start mating so the eggs are ready to be laid at just the right time,<\/p>\n

“It might be producing a very low-frequency \u2018thump, thump\u2019 as it hits the water.”<\/p>\n

Dr Baker acknowledged that the rival mate call theory does also hold water saying: “That may just coincidentally be similar to some of the sounds big male crocodiles produce to say: \u2018Hey, this is my turf.\u2019”<\/p>\n

The reptiles at Koorana Crocodile Farm are bred for their meat and skins while tourists can also visit for tours.<\/p>\n
