Although the lion has a lot of advantages over the crocodile in terms of a fight, the crocodile would win in a fight against a lion. The crocodile is simply too large and powerful for the lion to defeat.
Bears have better senses than crocodiles, and they are stronger overall than crocodiles. Also, bears are faster on land than crocodiles. Both creatures rely on their bites to finish off enemies. Of course, their bodies are very different as well.
Although confrontations between lions and crocodiles are said to be rare events, incidents of crocodiles attacking lions, and vice versa, have been captured on film before - though the big cats usually shy away from confronting them.
Lions have few predators to fear other than humans. A very young or sickly lion might fall prey to hyenas. Cubs may be attacked and eaten by adult male lions. Lions are most threatened by humans who hunt them and encroach on their habitat.
Gorillas are strong and powerful animals. They are known to be able to fight off lions and other large predators.
Big cats like leopards and panthers sometimes kill and eat these big reptiles. Large snakes can also do a lot of damage to alligators and crocodiles. There are countless videos showing snakes wrapped around gators and crocodiles.
An unarmed person and a crocodile differ greatly in terms of their morphology, size, and sheer force. Size, defenses, and offensive capabilities will matter most in a fight between an unarmed human and a crocodile. On land, humans can outrun crocodiles, but in the water, crocodiles are considerably swifter.
#6: Crocodiles
What is most likely to kill an elephant is the crocodile biting the elephant's trunk off. The elephant may then die as a result of not being able to eat and drink properly, or even breathe. On the other hand, a crocodile is most likely to kill a baby elephant and is most successful on its watery turf.
A bear would win a fight against a lion. Bears have the advantage in just about every aspect, from size to offensive capabilities. The only time that a lion would win is if it managed to sneak up and ambush a bear, leaping onto it and biting into its head with such power that it shattered the skill.
If you change the question to: “Can a single, average-sized, athletic man armed with a primitive spear and minimal training defeat a lion, tiger, or bear in a fight?” the answer would be yes. He can, but it's certainly not assured. A tremendous amount of luck would be required. It's unlikely.
On the whole, they tend to compete for the same prey rather than hunt each other. Crocodiles would have a greater advantage in the water if they could sneak up on an unsuspecting tiger and drag it into the water. On land, as we see in this vid, the tiger has less to fear from the croc.
They are, however, still vulnerable to attacks from big cats. A pride of lions in Zimbabwe developed a reputation back in 2016 for their croc-hunting tendencies, while leopards have also been recorded taking on these hefty reptiles.
"Its skin is so thick you aren't going to pierce it and its head is a solid mass of bone - there are no weak points. "The one thing you can do is get your fingers in its eyes - but with crocodiles, prevention is always better than cure."
A crocodile would win a fight against a gorilla. Most of the fights would begin in or near water, and a gorilla doesn't stand a chance in that scenario. If a crocodile bit and dragged the gorilla into the water, then it's a simple victory. The two creatures might meet each other on land, though.
Even if a swimming tiger catches up with a hippo, it'll have a tough time winning the fight. Hippos have thick, strong skin that protects them from predators. Plus, their massive body makes them almost impossible to take down. Hippos have the most powerful jaws in the animal kingdom with a bite force of 1,800 psi.
Predators. Asiatic wild dogs called dholes may prey upon tigers but these rare attacks are usually countered with drastic losses to the dholes' pack. Humans are the greatest threat to all tiger populations.

Leo's biggest weakness is their selfish nature. They only think about their own needs and put themselves forward in all situations. This behaviour drives the good people in their lives away and causes a lot of trouble to the people in their surroundings.
The legend of Sala who killed the lion to save his Jaina preceptor Sudatta and had won a kingdom for himself ideally fitted into the animal-slayer motif already in vogue.
