Juvenile Nile crocodiles (Crocodylus niloticus) and spectacled caimans (Caiman crocodilus) use water surface waves for the detection of prey, usually insects trapped at the water surface. This prey detection relies on mechanosensors, the integumentary sensory organs. We found by go/no go conditioning that C. niloticus and C. crocodilus can discriminate surface waves that differ in frequency. On average, frequency difference thresholds were about 4-5 %, e.g. C. niloticus and C. crocodilus distinguished a 40 Hz surface wave from a 38,5
