I like living in wet swamp areas. Different species have different sizes. The largest crocodile is the Gulf Crocodile, with an average length of 4 meters and the longest of 6 or 7 meters, while the Chinese alligator is only about 1 meter.
Crocodiles are good at ambush. When they meet their prey, they will wait quietly and find the right time to attack suddenly. Once they bite, they will drag their prey into the water and drown. If some prey is large, crocodiles are good at wringing meat from living animals by "death flip".
Crocodiles have tried this move every time, from fish, waterfowl and tortoise to buffalo, wild boar and monitor lizard, all of which are crocodile food.
It can be said that crocodiles have few natural enemies. Is it true that the tiger defeated the crocodile?
First of all, no matter how powerful crocodiles are, there are also animals that are afraid.
In nature, small crocodiles are too small for many animals to eat, so the crocodiles mentioned below are all adult crocodiles.
Some animals can eat crocodiles, but not many, such as hippos, snakes, cats and, of course, humans.
When big cats kill crocodiles, the first thing they think of is a photo of "leopards eat crocodiles" on the Internet.
In fact, the animals with patterns in the photos are not leopards, but jaguars, which are the third largest cats after lions and tigers.
Jaguar can be said to be one of the animals that eat crocodiles regularly. In the Amazon region, jaguars often eat caiman, which accounts for 48% of the jaguar menu.
The predation skills of jaguars and tigers are essentially similar. Jaguar can do it, so it is natural for tigers to prey on crocodiles.
Generally speaking, tigers and crocodiles have little in common, but in India, Bengal tigers and swamp crocodiles often fight.
It's just that victory doesn't always belong to the tiger, but to pay attention to the right time, place and people.
Tiger weight 160-270 kg. As a mammal, it is bigger, stronger, more agile, faster and smarter than crocodiles. It has the largest canine teeth among big cats and is one of the most biting animals among carnivores.
The most important thing is that tigers, like jaguars, sneak up on the crocodile's back and bite it hard on the crocodile's head or neck. The strong biting force and sharp canine teeth are enough to penetrate the crocodile's skin, resulting in the crocodile's inability to resist and die.
However, such incidents usually occur when crocodiles venture to climb on land. If it is in the water, the fighting situation between crocodiles and tigers is different.
In fact, there are more than one kind of crocodiles that overlap the jaguar area, including the smaller Caiman with glasses and the larger Caiman with black eyes, and the number of black Caiman is much more than that of Caiman with glasses, but in many attacks, there are almost no bodies of black Caiman.
The main reason is that the black caiman is much bigger than the glasses caiman and likes to stay in deep water, so the jaguar always puts his hand on the glasses caiman who is similar in size to himself. For the black caiman, there is no advantage in size, and even with strong hunting skills, it can't be used in deep water.
