ON THE EDGE OF EXTINCTION - A - THE TIGER (Panthera tigris)

It is post 512 I read tigers dominated the crocodile from record. I don't know where did this person got this information. He should have mentioned where did he read it.

Yes, I think tiger kills the saltwater crocodile on the land, and it go the other way around if it is in water.

I read many crocodile fan is always saying that the tiger couldn't take down the saltwater crocodile. Crocodile usually hunts animal when animal is drinking water. Or when animal is completely vulnerable since they are swimming in water. One serious problem for croc is that they are poikilotherm. They are completely vulnerable when they are lying in sun to regulate its temperature (metabolism and energy). There is one tiger in Sumatra is maintaining his or her territory with 3 legs (lost it by trap) and I remember I read one tiger in India lost one foot, but he or she saved its territory for a 3 years. I think some people are underestimate the tiger. Especially ignorant people like lion fan who doesn't know about big cat and they just think lion is the king of the beast. Reply
