Here's a plan to settle this. Let's put a 3 year old next to a Honey Badger and a fully grown adult (@Bold Seagull for example) next to a crocodile & see what happens. That'll be about the right size comparison
So it take TWO of the hardest predators in the jungle to even start tangling with a croc. Meanwhile the croc is taking down the largest land-animal on the planet.
I'm not sure that's true actually. There are many instances of other animals trying it on with the croc - few do well. The croc dates back to the dinosaurs for goodness sake - it survived a meteor strike!
What's the badger done that comes close to rivalling this?
