Can a crocodile kill an elephant?

Generally, the largest animals a large crocodile can take down are adult hippos: elephants are simply too heavy - African elephants are the heaviest things on land! However, a group of 4 - 5 really big crocodiles could probably take down an adult elephant, and a crocodile MAY be able to take down a baby elephant.

How long does it take baby elephant to grow into an adult elephant?

Do lions eat elephants?

Yes, but only if it is a baby, sick, or elderly.No. A full grown elephant is too big to handle for even a pride of lions. But they may try to take down an injured or weak elephant or an elephant calf that has strayed away from its herd.Very rarely- lions usually go after young calves (baby elephants) because they are much smaller, but a calf if rarely ever alone because elephants travel together and protect one another from predators. Lions prefer to hunt smaller prey, such as antelope, zebras, and sick or young animals because they are unable to take down large prey by themselves.Yes, a pack of lions can take down an elephant,but only during the night. elephants have bad eye sight during the night so it is easy for the lions to sneak up.But, During the day the elephants can take down the lions.It depends on the size, strength, and type of the elephant, plus the strength and quantity of the lion pack. Elephants usually travel together in herds to protect from attacks.
