However, the assumption of the crocodiletears metaphor may be true. In a 2007 paper published in BioScience titled Crocodile Tears: And they eat them weeping, researchers observed 7 crocodilians in cages during feeding time at a reserve (4 caimans and 3 American alligators). The researchers observed the crocodilians outside of water at feeding stations to better find out whether tearing developed. Five of the 7 crocodilians developed something like tears in their eyes before, during or after feeding. The researchers suggest that these crocodile tears occur because a crocodilian hisses (發(fā)出嘶嘶聲) while it eats, and this hissing forces air through the spaces in the bone behind the nose and out the eye, in the process picking up nasolacrimal secretions (鼻淚管分泌物.)根據(jù)第一段中的“It is said that crocodiles weep while eating their hunted animals because they are sad。故選A。re anything special, because you39。s often exactly when we39。 their talents.
