There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

The documentary is not too old. To read about a big croc and to actually see one is two entirely different matters. I saw that 13-foot alligator in Florida ( it had been measured ) and in real life, up close, it is a living monster! I can hardly imagine a 20-foot-long crocodile.
Perhaps what a tiger could possibly do and what he would do are two different realities.
Yes, most probably tiger would watch from aside. Then again I guess, that you have seen that video about a housecat which made... was it one or two alligators to escape :) Hard to say how they would act, but when so big croc and tiger, it is difficult to see a scenario where they would actually fight. Another one would for sure back off. Most probably tiger, but who knows, I wouldn´t be totally surprised if it would go in another way. I would be really surprised only if they would actually start a fight. After all in those occasions situations are usually resolved more with false attacks in hope to get another one to back off.
