Crocodile Lion battle

A few weeks ago these game scouts came across this huge 14ft crocodile lying dead on the sand in the Chiredzi River water course. Of course they were very hesitant to approach this huge beast but after some time they realised it was dead.


On closer investigation they found the croc had what looked like bite wounds on its belly and around the neck....The lions wouldn’t have cared less for the leopard but the 14 ft monster was something to think about.

In some localities hungry lions not infrequently kill, and eat crocodiles, and it is interesting to record that the lion's method of attack is in the first instance to smash the skull.

Lions have been known to kill and eat crocodiles and to crack open tortoise shells. A charging lion can topple over the biggest giraffe. A group of lions can bring down a full-grown hippopotamus.

There are several instances of lions' killing adult crocodiles; one took place on an African game reserve in full view of a launch loaded with sightseers. In another, a crocodile attempted to steal a lion's kill and was itself slain by the big cats

“This croc thought it would try and steal the impala that the lions had killed near camp early one morning. After a lot of noise and a fight, the lions killed the croc and ate it too.”

it became evident that lions had killed both warthog and crocodile:

in fact, two young lions from the same group are now regularly dining on crocodiles that they've killed, says the luxury resort. In the last two weeks the brothers have "dispatched" three large crocodiles measuring up to four metres.

But the lion also at times kills crocodiles, catching them while they are lying on the shore.

And among these the crocodile. It had been taken out by a team of 4 supposedly daring Pride known to take on the toughest in the Jungle. This was a first seen by the rangers. A special sight for the www.lakevictoriaexpedition.com team

Looks more like a 7 foot long croc.

This is how a 10+ footer looks like:

The tigers body without even the tail is just as long as the croc's entire body, hence only a 6-7 footer, while this lioness above has only half the croc already bigger than the lioness, the whole croc would be like twice as long.

It aint 100%

If males be rollin in a coalition, even the worlds largest croc in water would still be attacked by the crew:

Hence the title....

King of beast.


A crew? :stopitslime:

Let's see a crew of lions go at a crew of crocs in the water see what happens
