Antelope are hunted by both crocodiles and lions. When antelope bend down to drink water, they are vulnerable to lions on land and crocodiles in the water. The lions hide in the grass and ambush them, while the crocodiles hide in the water and ambush them.

Answer 1

The environmental change that would cause the crocodiles to lose the competition for food is a drought.

In a drought, water levels would decrease, making it harder for crocodiles to ambush antelope as they drink. With less water available, crocodiles would have fewer opportunities to hunt effectively, potentially leading to a decline in their food sources.
