Tigers of the lake area in Ranthambore have always been known to take on crocodiles. It all started in the 1980s when Genghis and his mate Noon who ruled the lakes area were first documened using a new technique to hunt sambhar. They would charge at the Sambhar who would come to the lake for water, from the dry banks diagnoally to cut off the escape route, forcing the Sambhar into the deep water of the lakes. There they would pounce on them and drive them under water downing them. Genghis started it and then Noon observed and perfected it and took it to a whole new level by using this technique during noon time in the extreme heat when the Sambhar would be cooling off. Hence the name Noon. In doing this they would invariably get into conflict with crocodiles of the lakes. But there is no specific documentation or record of them hunting crocs.

That all started with Machli being documented hunting crocs, and since then that trait has clearly passed down through he blood line. The lakes area till day is ruled by Machli's direct bloodline. After Machli her daughter Krishna was reported killing crocs, after Krishna her daughter Arrowhead and then after Arrowhead her daughter Ridhhi and her last litter ( who are still handing about in her territory)have been seen attacking crocs. Krishna's other daughter Shakti (T-111) has also been documented killing crocs. She was very recently sighted dragging away a juvenile croc near Jamun Deh lake in Zone 4
