make no mistake, 1 male lion would have finished that croc in 2 seconds. Two lionesses as well. But here we have 1 lioness, 2 juvenile lioness and 2 cubs.

@smugreptile6695 I am sorry i didn't read your last reply, i am confident that i proved my point and even gave insights into lion successful hunting strategy against crocodile. At this point i am not interested in making you understand that your denial is futile and debating your character issues. So next time, think twice and maybe buy a crocodile handbag as a gift. You've been lectured enough, it's your problem for not trying to benefit from it. Good day ! I'll just ignore you now.

@smugreptile6695 I am being incredibly conservative about lions. Just as I said, two female lionesses from a pride would kill that croc if in that exact situation. A male lion would instantly kill that croc on land unless the croc was lucky enough to place a bite but would not leave unscathed. In all situations when croc is on land its only option is escape or loose its life to any lion pride except when there is only 1 mature lioness as here and a bunch of juveniles and cubs. As for zebra they are an incredibly tough animal, it is said to be the toughest of all herbivores, its musculature and power is incredible. Water bufallos might be heavier but Zebras neck muscle and thighs muscle is stronger than a tiger. You need to calm down and not make ignorant claims.

@smugreptile6695 I can tell that you are green and have not seen enough of wildlife by the fantasy thinking scenarios you wrote. First, you underestimated the zebra. A zebra has very powerful hind legs, can quickly rotate in any direction and kill a chasing lioness with only one kick. Drop dead instantly. An adult zebra neck muscles are so strong that a single lioness trying to hang on to a zebra neck can get trampled and suffer a broken bone which is usually fatal. It would be easier for a lioness to kill a hyena 1vs1 than a zebra. That is why it takes at least 2 lionesses. Yes pound for pound, zebra are the strongest herbivore. Now about crocodile vs. lion, the lion bite is actually not weaker than a Jaguar, but the jaguar canine teeth are more receded in the jaw giving more leverage and the tooth itself is more sharp explaining the puncturing power. Again just as i said, 2 lion(ess) is all it takes to kill a crocodile on land who has no water escape. And no, they would not bite the tough scaly back of the crocodile. In all serious lion vs crocodile face off, the lion(s) are always circling the croc because they know the croc vulnerable part, and the way to kill it, is its hind legs and it's also the perfect diameter to fit inside a lion jaw. Now, the croc spine is flexible that it can curve and bite any animal attacking its hind leg, this is why the second lion is required usually just long enough to reduce the croc movement while the other lion bite the hind legs. The wound is immediate and from there it will tear up all the underbelly of he croc no matter its size. Here you can see it in action with the end result, you can see the huge croc was killed exactly as i described by three lioness. https://youtu.be/CjOd4GCpxU4 A male lion, has far more body weight and stronger legs that a lionness that can immobilize a croc head and from there it too will bite the hind legs. But for smaller crocs is will bite the neck and instantly kill the croc. Your whole paragraph on claws was nonsensical and more akeen of what a housecat would do against a dog attack. A lion's claw do not have the purpose of killing any animal, it's meant to attach to larger preys when chasing and to swoop under their trachea for bitting choke. So as you see a croc is in trouble as soon as it is on land.

Croc has zero chance if two lioness work together but here there is only one mature lioness and juveniles + cubs. It takes just two lioness bitting the croc at the same time from different side to end the croc. Any bite that can attach near the snout makes the croc as good as dead as the other lioness will inflict major bite to to the rear legs and belly.

Jack Drought fool, there is only one adult lion and juveniles in this video. If you cannot tell the difference.

@Franzibald_ This is not a contest, i don't need your opinion to know that numerous crocodiles have been disposed of by lion prides when they ventured too far away from the water. The lions in this video are not a pride, it's mostly juveniles and Croc has the water protecting his back. As soon as he is a little bit in trouble he flees. Well when he cannot flee into water, he becomes the next lion's meal.

@shinji136 false assertion. I just saw video of a big croc eviscerated by a gang of lionesses.

@shinji136 No the lionesses harassed, mangled and eviscerated a big old massive croc like the one that could hold a full size fridge in their mouth. The threesome lionesses were very effective, the croc had no chance. As strong and hard as their back skin is, they are vulnerable at their hind thighs. A bite there is the end for any croc because it neutralizes their bite. Lions knows by instinct exactly that the croc must be bitten in the hind legs and then eviscerated. This is the video i am referring to. Crocs always keep their back facing water. If a crocodile of any size is ever encircled by three lioness it will die. It's why they never venture far off the water.

@shinji136 You don't know what you are talking about. I am bored of lizzard lovers like you, i don't think you're worth me going through the trouble of showing you the link. But go ahead continue making the mistake of saying there is no such video, you will be more crushed and ridiculed if i decide to link it. Go ahead keep calling it a bluff, you will get your sissy ego ridiculed. Crocs are extremely vulnerable. The bigger the more vulnerable. They need their tail to be mobile to make a quick turn to defend from a rear attack. All it takes is 3 lionesses who are a killing pride, knowing each other very well. Then it just take harassing the stupid big lizard (i know it's a different specie but i like to call them that) from all angles. Until one of the lioness bites either the muzzle of the croc or its tail, then it's GAME OVER. This neutralizes the croc bite as it needs its tail to be mobile to turn around, and if bitten in the muzzle it cannot defend its rear. Then one lion doubles the bite with the first lion and the third bites the croc rear leg thighs its vulnerable point and proceeds to eviscerate it from its belly. At that point even if the croc escapes he will die. But usually will not escape and will loose power and get mangled to death. It will stop fighting as it gets chewed alive. All this is in the video. Big massive stupid crocodile.

1 mature lioness, 2 juvenile lionesses and 2 cubs. NOT 5 lions. 3 mature lioness would have made lunch of that croc easily. You can see when the lioness attacks the others two lionesses fail to join in the attack, in fact only 2 lioness is enough to that croc down. And if just one male lion was there, that croc would not stay there.
