The environmental change that would likely cause the crocodiles to lose the competition for food would be **drought**.

A drought would reduce the water levels in rivers and lakes, making it difficult for crocodiles to ambush antelope, as there would be less water available for them to hide in. As a result, the lions would have a greater opportunity to hunt antelope without competition from crocodiles.
