The environmental change that would cause the crocodiles to lose the competition for food would be a drought. During a drought, the water levels would decrease, making it harder for crocodiles to ambush antelope effectively while they are drinking. With less water, there would also be fewer places for the crocodiles to hide, reducing their ability to catch prey. As a result, lions, which hunt on land, could have a better opportunity to catch the now more vulnerable antelope.
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.
