Account from Zimbabwe where a pride of lions according to this wild life watcher began regularly to kill crocodiles...
" The adaptation of the Tashinga Pride, to the elements of the terrain and climate, and how these traits are starting to migrate to other areas. "  crocodiledunphd Happy World Tiger Day! Here in Chitwan, tiger and gharial range overlaps, and we occasionally record gharial-tiger interactions. Here a tiger walks along the beach, whilst a mother gharial is guarding her hatchlings down in the river. The female gharial is showing a defensive response to a potential threat: she is facing the tiger, and following the tiger's upstream movement. The babies are in the water around her. This is a large female gharial: a tiger would be unlikely (and pretty crazy) to take her on, and I'm not sure who I'd put my money on. However, there is at least one record of an adult tiger killing an adult female gharial in the 1990s, so it can happen, probably only for small females caught onland and unaware. This video is from a 2019 camera trap at the most isolated site we monitor gharial at, a beautiful downstream gorge just before the river flows to India. Here the Narayani is collected into a single very deep channel, where we sometimes see the last dolphin of the Narayani too. Tigers use these beaches as easy walking routes, on some days we see hundreds of tiger footprints from a few different tigers over a day of fieldwork. Nepal is really winning at tiger conservation, hopefully river conservation will follow the same trends in the future! 
a 3 legged lion steals a meal from a croc
Lion Recovery Fund on Twitter: "Stunning video of a 3 legged #lion stealing some dinner from a #crocodile in front of Musekese Conservation's camp in #Zambia. ? The lion lost his foot to a bushmeat snare and the Musekese team monitored him for infection as he healed. ? Musekese / Jeffery & McKeith Safaris [url]https://t.co/VYHGrcqEGh" / Twitter[/url]
Incredible sighting at Entabeni Game Reserve in the Waterberg. Were these lions really determined to kill this crocodile ? I doubt it...
For anyone interested in jaguars @GuateGojira @Pckts @Dark Jaguar
Very cool find, a large adult female Morelet's crocodile killed by a jaguar in Guatemala  *This image is copyright of its original author https://www.reddit.com/r/Jaguarland/comm..._morelets/ 
"These three pictures are of a Jaguar trying to kill a caiman. She didn’t get it this time but look at the determination/pain on her face,Her eyes are red. We acatully think the Caiman bit her underwater as she was limping when she got out of the water. The second and third pic you can see the Caiman underwater."

@Bitishannah :
" It's the same video that I posted. " Yes, but you haven't downloaded the video. It's easy to make it quickly, see the forum tutorial.
Three lions defending their meals, an hippo corpse, into the water and surrounded by crocs. The lioness is at the good place between the two males... Moremi Games Reserve in Botswana.

I feel sorry for the crocodile, but the male lion looks very cute nipping and pulling on the crocodile like that. Like it was playing with the croc. If the lion wanted to actually kill that crocodile, then there certainly would have been a dead crocodile. The lion was much bigger. |
