5 Answers
i understand that when he 1st crawls thru the mud the predator doesnt see him as his outer body temperature is low due to the water/mud but later on he is coated in dry mud but remains invisible ! surely he is now visible or have i missed something ?!
im only asking as i saw it again this week and have always wondered(still a great film tho)

Sorry, but I thought it was pretty obvious from the visuals in the first film, but it's explained even better in Pred 2. The predator's default vision system is mostly infra-red or heat based vision.Seems that even the dry mud helps to distort or mask his heat ouput. In Pred 2 the hunters have worked this out and use stealth suits that mask body heat, but the wily Pred switches to UV vision and spots them. Hope this helps.
