But will the croc be able to fit it's jaws around the shark's body?
Crocodiles can catch big animals (gnus, even horses), they shouldn't have any problems...anyway by catching/breaking the tail of the shark the shark would be imobilized....

We don't have too many gnu's running around here in Australia. German tourists are a favourite meal though... (Australian joke. A lot of tourists who come here don't believe that we have the highest ratio of deadly animal species to humans of anywhere in the world. A german tourist found out that, yes, crocodiles DO exist, we didn't make them up.)

The biggest salty recorded in Australia was shot in '56 or so and measured around 7.5 - 8 meters (24 - 26 feet). That has really got to hurt when it chomps down on you. Or a shark for that matter.

The one I saw was around 5.5 meters long (the locals said), and it was really impressive.... Salties are actually more dangerous than sharks, they will attack any human/animal on their territory, even small boats sometimes, which is not really the case with sharks....

Bull sharks have been known to swim several miles upstream and into FRESH WATER to hunt. This obviously includes estuaries.
A Great White also once swam up a New Jersey stream and went all mad crazy, killing a few people...check out this great non-fiction book; "twelve days of terror".

Of course...I'm really biased on the topic, wanting to be an ichtyologist for the greater part of my life.....in land locked UTAH!!!
Who would win...brine shrimp or brine fly larvae???
Whew...exciting!

I think I remember Tuhon "Nene" Tortal saying how you could kill a croc by slipping a knife into it's arm pit and cutting the brachial artery.

Just a fun fact I thought I'd share.
