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.

About #61and the linked account: very interesting theory which I'm agreee with. It's sure that even a T-rex would have an enemy, no one wild creature hasn't ennemy to fear. And the parrallel with the extant lions and tigers is good. A superpredator on land is never "invulnerable". At any one time, inevitably, he could be in a delicate situation, and of course, having need to drink at last one time a day...

An other interesting point I notice is the lenght of the whiskers according to the social or solitary way of life of the lions and tigers

If we were to use what happens with modern crocodilians and terrestrial predators such as the lion, tiger and jaguar, barring their aquatic rivals such as hippos and otters, then it would be a case of if the terrestrial predator is in the water, or gets too close to the water, then it is at risk of becoming a prey for the croc, but if the croc gets too close to land, or is being hunted by a terrestrial predator that is fond of swimming, then the croc is in trouble: 

15-foot Bengali crocodile (possibly a saltwater crocodile, or a rather large mugger crocodile: https://archive.org/details/journalofbom...b/page/296) kills a Bengal tiger that swam across a river in the Sundarbans, South Asia, 2011, otherwise, crocs are noted to have been preyed upon by tigers: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldne...tiger.html

Crocodile killing an African lioness that was crossing a river: 




Fang the South-East African lion scaring off crocodiles that his pride couldn't scare off in Masai Mara, Kenya: 




Southern African lions eating a crocodile in Zimbabwe: 




Machli the Bengal tigress killing a 14-foot mugger crocodile at Ranthambore National Park, northwest India: 




Jaguars vs crocodilians:
