The crocodile would defeat the tiger. A tiger has strong paws and a heavy weight that could bring down a crocodile, but a crocodile's tough skin would protect itself. Also, the crocodile's size and jaws would easily kill a tiger if caught.

A Tiger.

Tigers hunt crocodiles on land, and even a 6m crocodile would not be able to catch a tiger. Tigers get behind a croc and bite its neck eventually killing it. (Tigers wouldn't normally take on a croc larger than 4m) however, in the water a large croc (4+m) could kill a small tiger.

There have been reports of Tigers going into the water and pulling 4m+ crocodiles out and killing them

In water, the croc has the advantage. On land, go with the tiger. A video exists showing a tiger taking it's kill away from a crocodile, and yet another shows a tigress killing a croc on land. The croc is probably stronger, but not as quick, especially on land.

Adult tiger, young croc - yes.

Adult tiger, adult croc - no.
A tiger could have a chance to kill a crocodile on land if the crocodile was not large and strong. A tiger could kill an uhealthy, injured, or a weak crocodile on land. In water, the tiger would get killed by the crocodile.

Can a saltwater crocodile kill a tiger?

Yes, a saltwater crocodile could kill a tiger. Large Adult Male Saltwater Crocodiles are a lot stronger than tigers, and have huge jaws that could bite tigers to death before the tiger had a chance to attack. In the Sundarbans in India, The Saltwater Crocodile share its Mangrove Habitat with the Bengal TIger. Both the reptile and the cat know the damage each can do to the other and give each other a wide berth. We have seen Tigers swimming across Crocodile infested creeks in the Sundarbans without any fear or trepidation. They swim to go from one island to another. A basking Crocodile can easily be seized and killed by a tiger. A very large Adult Crocodile can take on and probably kill a year old tiger in deep water. But from our observations as Naturalists who have spent time in the Sundarbans, very rarely do we see conflict arise between these two apex predators who seem to give each other a wide berth

Who would win a fight a crocodile or a black bear?

A crocodile has the strength and resistance to kill an adult polar bear when it can use its strong jaws to attack. The polar bear could claw the crocodile, but this would do nothing since the crocodile has such a tough skin to protect. Since crocodiles are very good hunters, they could easily kill any bear, no matter what kind of bear it is. Unless the polar bear flipped over the crocodile and swat its stomach, the polar bear would win the fight. If a crocodile and a polar bear were to fight in water, most likely the polar bear would be the meal of the crocodile.Answer TwoIt depends on the size and strength of the polar bear, and the size and species of the crocodile. A polar bear is capable of killing a crocodile because it can even kill a large walrus, muskox, or even a beluga whale.


Who wins in a fight between a tiger and a crocodile?

Most likely the crocodile. A crocodile would attack and try biting the enemy with its powerful, large jaws and sharp teeth, especially when the enemy is attacking it. An attacking tiger fight a crocodile would not have a good chance unless the crocodile is weak or tired from fighting. In the water, the crocodile would totally win by grabbing the tiger with its jaws. A crocodile on the land can also win a fight with a tiger since it has tough skin and a long size for balancing itself. Since crocodiles are more aggressive and big, then the crocodile would win the fight against the tiger.
