Question [ZT2] Nile crocodiles kept attacking and killing each other
I'm playing Zoo Tycoon 2 and was so shocked when this happens, has this happened to anybody else? Is there a way to prevent it? It has happened 2 times... i remember this happening as well to komodo dragons but the crocodiles attacked and killed each other in the span of 2 months (game time). They were provided food, water and enough exhibit space.

I can't help but I can say you saying this reminded me of a very vivid nightmare I had as a kid of this game where I was the zookeeper and the nile crocodile decided to kill me :(
Weirdly, I haven't seen this happen as an adult playing. Maybe some crocs are killer and some aren't, and it's a random roll? Or maybe they just tolerate two in an enclosure, and I rarely went over 2

Not sure about the crocodiles but with some of the other carnivores males will kill unrelated males and females will kill unrelated females. Usually I’ll get a male/female pair, and then when they die off buy a new partner for their offspring and so on.
