The environmental change that would cause the crocodiles to lose the competition for food is drought. During a drought, water levels would drop, making it more difficult for crocodiles to ambush antelope as there would be less water for them to hide in, potentially reducing their hunting success. This would give lions an advantage on land, allowing them to have more opportunities to hunt the 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.
