@FireEel ..actually Lions are known to kill Crocs that venture onto land quite frequently, this is just one of those occasions where they were more interested in eating.
@Dungarth "Quite frequently"? No Dungarth, I did my research. No lion has ever killed a crocodile on land without some form of advantage. And lions hardly kill crocodiles.
These lions weren't just interested in eating, they were also interested in ESCAPING from the croc. Lions do not tolerate ANY other predators, whether it be leopards or hyenas. But only when it comes to crocodiles would lions actually give way, and in this case, willingly let the croc have part of their kill.
@vikutaa I already have. A 10-feet nile crocodile usually weights 150kg, and is not even full-grown yet. On the other hand, a full-grown lion weights 200kg or more. To top it off, it was a fight on land. So yes, the lion may have been disadvantaged, but the crocodile even more so. Lion needed a weight advantage, land advantage to kill a young crocodile. Still not impressive.
@FireEel It is a little odd how lions struggle so much with crocs, but admittedly, Nile crocodiles are larger and more aggressive than India's mugger crocs (though judging from your knowledge of these animals, you probably knew that).
I wonder why lions do so poorly against crocs. Tigers at least put up a fight.

@vikutaa Yeah they ain't. I would put my money on a large Saltie over a Tiger, land fight or not, anytime of the day.

@FireEel Tigers don't put up a fight, they OWN. Lions are actually the poorest among the great cats.
