    Crocodiles are killers in the water, and they usually lurk in the water to kill their prey when they are unprepared. It is said that the crocodile's teeth have a ton of bite force, but the crocodile rarely bites the prey in two, but bites the prey and rolls itself, using its own weight to gain a tearing force, making the prey's wound more serious and losing blood faster, and there is also a direct drag of the prey into the water and drowning. This terrible hunting technique makes it rare for prey to escape when caught, and they are like the overlords of the water.

    The lion hated water so much that he had to grin his teeth for a long time when he put his four paws in the water. Many times, lions prefer to give up their prey in order not to get their paws wet. They have an instinctive aversion to water.

    As for the big crocodiles in the water, you can imagine how much they don't want to deal with these crocodiles. But in the documentary of Big Cat Diary, we will also see that the lion is not afraid of crocodiles. The lion's fangs led his pack to eat meat by the river, and a crocodile stared for a piece of the pie, and Fangs roared at it mercilessly, driving it away.

    It can be seen that it is not that lions are afraid of crocodiles, but that they do not want to deal with crocodiles in the first place in terms of lion habits, but once there is a conflict of interest, lions are not afraid of crocodiles.

    Tigers are naturally water-loving and lions are water-averse, which is closely related to the habitats in which they live. Secondly, in documentaries filmed in India, Meng Hu usually encounters the crocodile, this medium-sized crocodile to the large body of the male tiger in India (male tiger body length meters, weight 180 kg 258 kg, female tiger weight 100 kg 160 kg), especially the crocodile to the male tiger, even in the water is difficult to pose an actual threat. Among them, the famous legendary tigress Ma Qili hunted about 230 kilograms of rice (a body length meter) on the shore, and the crocodile ** in poor condition in the dry season deepened people's impression that tigers are not afraid of crocodiles.

    The liger is the apex predator of the genus Leopard of the carnivorous order Feline family, and is very close. It is not necessary to divide each other who is higher and who is lower, and who is more powerful. The liger is in danger of extinction, and it is even more important to protect it if you truly love wildlife.

    Because the lion itself is not as good as the tiger, some animals in the cat family have good water nature, and some animals have bad water nature, for example, the water nature of domestic cats is average, the water nature of tigers and jaguars is very good, and the lion is not good at swimming, so it is impossible to beat crocodiles in the water, and one point is because lions, like other animals, need to drink and bathe at the water's edge frequently, and the crocodiles distributed in Africa are basically Nile crocodiles, this breed is relatively large among crocodiles, Therefore, the threat of the Nile crocodile to the lion is very large, but the tiger is relatively not so serious, and there is no such a big crocodile in the tiger's living place, even if it is a bay crocodile, there are generally few opportunities to meet the tiger.

    Because lions are not good at swimming, the Nile crocodile is larger than the lion, and of course the lion can't beat it, while the tiger and the crocodile live in different environments, so there is no chance to fight at all.

    This is because the places where lions live are large crocodiles, while the jungles where tigers live are generally small to medium-sized crocodiles.

    Although the crocodile is powerful, it is not comparable to the tiger in terms of skills. Tigers are amphibious and can play anywhere. Crocodiles generally feed mainly in the water, and land is not their main area for feeding.

    Tigers are typical mountain forest animals, ranging from tropical rainforests and evergreen broad-leaved forests in the south to deciduous broad-leaved forests and mixed coniferous and broad-leaved forests in the north. In Northeast China, it is also often found in mountain ridges, low forest shrubs, rocky or gravel ponds and other mountainous areas to facilitate predation.

    The crocodile is probably afraid of the tiger because it sees that the tiger is larger than it. Animals have a natural sense of danger, and once they discover the strength of the other party, they will not easily compete no matter what the opponent is, just like a weak lone wolf will be afraid of a strong bull.

    Tigers are felines, cats eat fish, and crocodiles are instinctively afraid! But in the water, tigers don't necessarily beat crocodiles.

    The main force of the crocodile is in the water, and the lion can only become the prey of the crocodile after it has completely fallen into the water. Crocodiles are extremely precious animals. The crocodile is not a fish, it is a reptile, the name of the crocodile, or because it plays in the water like a fish, hence the name "crocodile".

    Crocodile population status:

    1. Indian fish-eating crocodile: on the verge of extinction. There are also a certain number of hidden bridges in farms in India, and there are few breeding records in zoos;

    2. Malayan crocodile: Malayan crocodile is an endangered animal, which can be successfully bred in the breeding farm of Ming Oak in Thailand and the Bronx Zoo and Miami Zoo in the United States;

    3. Orinoco crocodile: Orinoco crocodile has not been bred in zoos, but it can be bred in some private farms;

    4. American crocodile: The American crocodile is the most widely distributed and abundant in the crocodile subfamily in the Americas, but it is still an endangered species;

    5. Cuban crocodile: Cuban crocodile is an endangered species protected by law and can be bred in some zoos in the United States and breeding farms in the United States and Cuba;

    6. Morere crocodile: Although protected by law, the Morere crocodile is still widely poached and is an endangered species. The Morere Crocodile has been successfully bred in some zoos.

    I'm very responsible for telling you.

    When lions are drinking Crocodiles generally never attack lions.

    Reason: The lion's teeth can easily bite through the crocodile's protective skin, its claws can also scratch the crocodile, so over time, the natural characteristics lead to the tiger, the lion drinks, and the crocodile rarely attacks, but the lion cub tiger is not necessarily, the crocodile will attack, and the crocodile will attack the same when the lion crosses the river.

    In the same way, when a crocodile comes ashore, it is spotted by a hungry tiger or a lion, and it will be attacked by him, and I have seen a science and education film, and some tigers are very good at hunting crocodiles!

    When it comes to drinking, a lot of animals are afraid of crocodiles, but elephants and lions and hippos are dismissive.

    This is called murderous knows! Crocodiles also have brains, and tigers have beards, and their movements are also very sharp! But if it really fights, the crocodile by the river has an absolute advantage!

    A suit of armor and a terrifying bite! But not necessarily on land! Don't you know that the strong dragon can't fight the ground snake!

    In the water, you dominate the land, and I am king! Terrain advantage!! And a little luck!

    If the crocodile happens to be knocked over with its feet in the air, it will definitely lose, the crocodile's belly is very smooth and tender! A flexible attack strong! Another anti-high attack is super strong!

    Hehe, in fact, if you have brains, crocodiles will only be beaten!

    Not all crocodiles are afraid of tigers, you have to see what kind of crocodile it is.

    The largest tiger is the Siberian tiger, and the largest crocodile is the Australian saltwater crocodile. The western tiger is about 350 kilograms, while the saltwater crocodile is more than 6 meters long and weighs more than 1 ton, and the crocodile has an obvious advantage in size. Do you think it's still afraid of tigers?

    The only thing the tiger needs to pay attention to is to avoid the crocodile's bloody jaw, and if it is bitten, it will either be dead or maimed. Nile crocodiles can drag wildebeests and even buffaloes into rivers, and leopards and lions have been killed by Nile crocodiles.

    The tiger-fearing and tiger-killing are some species of Asian crocodiles, which are relatively small and not giant crocodiles. Therefore, they are among the tiger recipes. The same goes for the jaguar, known as the "crocodile killer", and the crocodile that the jaguar kills is generally not much larger than the jaguar itself.

    The crocodiles of the large subspecies raid in the water and have the potential to kill the tiger. But the agility of the tiger is very high, and the crocodile may not be able to succeed. On the shore, the tiger has an advantage, but the back of the Nile crocodile and the saltwater crocodile have armor-like **, and the tiger can't break through the defense, so it can only turn over and attack the crocodile's abdomen.

    However, crocodiles are not cattle or sheep, and tigers may be bitten by crocodiles when they flip them.

    Personally, I think that if a tiger with little combat experience underestimates a crocodile, then it is likely to be killed by a crocodile. For some experienced and relatively large tigers, it is entirely possible to kill crocodiles.

    However, tigers will give priority to small crocodiles, and large species of crocodiles weighing more than 700 kilograms are not afraid of tigers at all. Even if they live with tigers, tigers generally do not provoke.

    A tiger's teeth can easily bite through a crocodile's protective skin. Its claws can also scratch crocodiles, so over time, its natural characteristics lead to tigers drinking water and few crocodiles attack. So the phenomenon that crocodiles are afraid of tigers has been created.

    Similarly, when the crocodile comes ashore, it will be found by a hungry tiger or lion and will attack him, although the crocodile is afraid of the tiger, but only the adult tiger, the baby tiger is not necessarily, and the baby tiger crocodile will generally attack.

    When it comes to drinking Many animals are afraid of crocodiles, but elephants, lions and hippos are dismissive.

    Crocodiles don't want to run around like other beasts of prey.

    It waits for other animals to come to drink from the lake and river, then slowly approaches, and then uses its powerful tail to knock the animal down the river, where the resistance of the water slows down the land animals, and the crocodile gradually drags the prey into the lake to feed.

    Deer, horses and sheep are social animals, often frolicking in the river when they drink water, which attracts crocodiles from the lake.

    Lions, leopards, tigers, etc. are animals that live individually, and they only drink quietly when drinking, which is less likely to attract crocodiles.

    Hope it helps.

    Who said, crocodiles still eat, lions, leopards, tigers can run, it even dares elephants, but it doesn't give it a chance. Moreover, lions, leopards, tigers, etc. are individual animals, and when they drink, they only drink quietly, which is less likely to attract crocodiles.

    It can tell that grass is an animal or a carnivore, so it usually does not attack carnivores in order to avoid damage.
