During thier evolution they somehow discovered that working as a team to bring down large prey was much more successful. Though also loners, the crocodiles will lie in a row going across a river facing against the current in order to increase their chances of catching fish. Dolphins are social creatures, and the pod will rush a group of fish up onto a river bank in oder to eat more of them :)

I would think it's because they live in plains and savannahs rather than inside the jungle like all other big cats. This sort of territory is a lot more dangerous, and also serves as hunting ground for most predators. Tigers and leopards only exit the jungle to hunt, so anything living in there has to protect themselves with cooperation, unless it's a big animal like a rhino, and even elephants remain in groups. While the jungle is dangerous too, it's more closed and easier for its inhabitants to get along by themselves, but even then, many animals in it still live in groups, and I believe that tigers do for a while, albeit much smaller groups. Could be wrong though, don't quote me. XD

the African lions live in families, they have certain hierarchy. The group leader is the biggest lion who ofcourse is male, while he could have a number of lioness. In jungle the areas are divided for each group , in short, every area has one BIG Bearded Lion who has females under him and then cubs. If any other lion tried to come in other lion's territory, he has to fight with the leader. So thats why the lion is called king of the jungle. Because he lived like a ruler where as other big cats like Tigers, cheetahs, panthers, and leopards are just like other predators they hunt and live. One more thing every male lion has its territory marked and they mark it by there urine. So no other lion come in some other lion's territory. One last very interesting thing they also dont hunt, instead there females hunt for them and they simply eat. So they are possess all the qualities of a ruler. Rule, eat and sleep.
