The lion has a height of 3.5 – 4 feet and weighs 265 – 420 pounds.
The crocodile has a length of 16 – 18 feet and weigh up to 2,200 pounds.
The African lion preys primarily on large ungulates such as wildebeests, zebras, and buffalos.
They hunt in coordinated groups, using their powerful physiques and sharp claws to bring down their prey.
Their diet consists of fish, reptiles, birds, and mammals that approach the water’s edge.
Nile crocodiles use their powerful jaws and excellent swimming ability to surprise their prey and drag them underwater.
The African lion relies mostly on its social structure as a means of defence, with prides protecting other members.
Their robust bodies, thick and scaly skin, and powerful jaws act as formidable deterrents against predators.
Currently, the estimated population is believed to be between 20,000 to 30,000 individuals.
It is estimated that the bite force of a large adult Nile crocodile can exceed 5,000 pounds per square inch (psi.)
