Best Answer

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

Possibly three. Saltwater crocodiles would have difficulties with rhinos since a rhino has tough skin and heavy weight advantage.
