Answer 1

A drought would cause the crocodiles to lose the competition for food. During a drought, water sources may dry up or become scarce, reducing the habitat and hunting grounds for the crocodiles. This would give an advantage to the lions on land, as the antelope would be less likely to bend down to drink water and be vulnerable to crocodile attacks.
