The idea behind the movie Predator's lore is rooted in Earths real world's diverse animal sensory systems. Reptiles, like pit vipers, use infrared vision to detect the heat signatures of their prey, which aligns closely with Predator's thermal vision. Similarly, whales and bats use echolocation (biological sonar) to navigate and locate objects in complete darkness, which could inspire the advanced tracking abilities depicted in the movie. 

It’s fascinating to see how science fiction often takes cues from actual biology to create believable alien technologies. By building on real-world sensory systems, movies like Predator can create a more immersive and scientifically plausible storyline. It's like a mix of creativity and science, melded to produce something that feels both imaginative and credible. 🦖🔍
