First and foremost, try to avoid a confrontation with an crocodile (or alligator) at ALL costs - they have the most powerful bite force of any animal in the world, and can crush human bone with ease. If, however, you do find yourself on the receiving end of an crocodile's bad temperement, you should attempt to hold it's jaws shut with your arms - although the muscles that CLOSE the jaws are VERY POWERFUL, the muscles that OPEN the jaws are relatively VERY WEAK, and can easily be held tight by a human. Being aggressive with an crocodilewill only exacerbate matters, so try to be calm and 'gentle' with one if you are trying to move it/catch it or whatever. I've heard that poking the eyes also provokes them to retreat

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.
