It's a little more formal than that. I think the author means "attend" the way a Catholic would attend Mass. But yes, I would imagine the crocodiles are doing the eating, rather than being eaten.

Hippos would normally avoid crocodiles, but the drought is forcing them to be in the same place. I think the author is making a reference to Christ's last supper with the disciples (a bit prententious, frankly).
