Michel Foucault specifically refers to this question in his book "The Order of Things". He quotes another's work saying, "The rat of India is pernicious to the crocodile, since nature has created them enemies; in such wise that when that violent reptile takes his pleasure in the sun, the rat lays an ambush for it of mortal subtely; perceiving that the crocodile, laying unaware for delight, is sleeping with its jaws agape, it makes it's way through them and slips down the wide throat into the crocodile's belly, gnawing through the entrails of which, it emerges at last from the slain beast's bowel." (Foucault 24)
