In India there are many swamps. Salt water crocodiles are there in mangrove forests and most of the islands of Andaman and Nicobar Islands.
Leopards are very dangerous. They are fast animals. In many of the forests in Central India the leopards come and kill more than 200 persons every year.
Both of them are human killers. While leopards have dangerous canines, crocodiles have dangerous jaws.

Thanks Koelemos for the response. Crocodiles stay both in land and also in water. So when they sleep in the land sometimes they do play acting. They can kill humans at that time also.

@Asylum Thanks Koalemos for the comments. Yes, it is dangerous venturing before them. Cows, goats come to the rivers to drink water and are killed.

There seems no point in comparing.
Crocodiles are seen near water bodies. If you are near water bodies, you are likely to be attacked by them.
Leopards on the other hand are on the land. They are dangerous and fierce.
But, it should be noted that none of them are actually dangerous in true sense.
Crocodiles are lazy folks. If they are not hungry, they won't even bother to even come out of water. If at all they come, they will prefer to sleep on the nearby sand.
Leopards dont generally come out of forest. They are happy with their forest environment. Due to human intervention with forest exploration, leopards are forced to see the outside world. Obviously, humans dont like this BUT leopards are NOT the only one to be blamed for this. Cat family creatures (Lion, Tiger, Panther, Cheetah, Leopards) may look fierce but generally do not attack unnecessarily.

Thanks vh for the comments. There are lot of frequent news of leopards entering different villages in India. May be the reasons are due to human intervention. Woods are cut in the forests for industries and they are driven in the dwelling places.
