Visitors at a national park in India have captured once-in-a-lifetime footage of a tigress and her three cubs dining on the carcass of a crocodile, which they ambushed and killed as a family.

This isn't the first time the mother — a 6-year-old Bengal tigress named Riddhi — has gone after a crocodile, but it is her first documented success. Tigers don't often go after crocodiles, preferring to attack prey — including pigs, deer, elephant calves and leopards — on land, according to staff at Bandhavgarh National Park in India.
