Crocodile and Big cats Interaction

[lionjaguar]

When I was in Botswana many years ago, I heard a story from rangers about two young nomadic male lions hunted crocodiles together. The two initially aimed at small crocodiles, but as they became proficient they hunted crocodiles up to big one (4-5m long). They used a strategy of ambushing a sleeping crocodile, while one caught the crocodile's attention while the other was aiming at the nape of the neck.

What is certain is that the crocodile succeeds in attacking when both herbivores or carnivores swim or aiming to be defenseless.

I am always curious why big herbivores like elephants, rhinos, giraffes, and cape buffaloes never fight back. If they were attacked by either a big or small crocodile, they don't think of revenge by counterattacking even if it was on the land. They just let crocodile go. Other buffalos or elephants don't even help their friends, they just watch unlike they are dealing crazy against lions, other carnivores, and humans. I think hippos are the only animals fight back to crocodiles when they see crocs are attacking another hippo or other animals. Humans are also opposite, we always take revenge.
I would definitely help another buffalo if I see a crocodile was biting him or her. Had I been an elephant and the crocodile bit my nose, I would have dragged the crocodile straight to land and beat the F**K out of that crocodile. I would kill the crocodile really painfully by trampling it on its head. Reply
