"Tigers,including females,are recorded killing very large Mugger Crocodiles up to 4m long"
Luke Hunter. Wild Cats of the World. 2015
"In the Sundarbans, the top predators are the tiger on land and estuarine crocodile in water and both are found throughout the entire Sundarban Tiger Reserve (STR), but there are no previous records of encounters between these species as prey or others. Interspecific fights in the forest are very common and there are records of tiger killing young rhinos (Bist, 1994) and elephants. There are instances of fights between crocodile and tiger in Ranathambhore Tiger Reserve of India over prey, but in the end the tiger won the battle. Among the encounters between lions and crocodiles it was found that sometimes the lion and sometimes the crocodile won the battle." P.K. Pandit (Deputy Field Director Sundarban Tiger Reserve) http://www.fao.org/3/a-am998e.pdf
"Crocodiles have been killed and eaten by tigers in the area (V. Thapar, pers. comm.)"
