Also means
skeptical
Usage Note
Incrédulo describes a person who refuses to believe something; it is a 'false cognate' trap for English speakers who might confuse it with 'incredible' (increíble). The noun form is incredulidad (disbelief). It typically follows the noun or appears after ser, and is stronger in register than simply escéptico.
Examples
"Me miró incrédulo cuando le conté la noticia."
Natural Translation
He looked at me incredulously when I told him the news.
