Showing that a GWS would have no problem at all bitting through croc hide. Which would be no surprise as they have far more sharp teeth with a more powerful bite built for slicing. 


 

Was this a Nile crocodile?

I heard that the Nile crocodiles from South Africa are smaller than those live close to the equator.

 

I'm not sure. But I doubt it would matter the type of croc, the shark is going to weigh twice its size, with the most powerful bite in the animal kingdom and teeth already proven to sheer right through croc hide. Thats why when people were doing the animal vs animal debate of croc vs walrus I was picking the walrus. Double the size of the croc but backed with 6+'' of blubber which I think is a better defense compared to leather skin of a croc. Walrus are able to with stand stabs from 2 foot long tusks which I am sure would prove fatal to a croc. But sharks can tear chunks off with ease, so I doubt any skin could with stand a GWS bite. 

how biased can you get with your rationalizations???  No, sharks cant "tear chunks off with ease" they need to shake violently at seals to rip of chunks of meat, not a sign of an animal that can "tear chunks off with ease" a shark's teeth is BUILT for slicing through fat, NOT muscle and armour! There are crocodiles who took large calibre bullets with some minor scarring.  Sharks cant cut through strong muscle and thick hide "like hot butter", nor do they have the strongest bites in the animal kingdom, their jaw muscles are relatedly weak for a creature of their size.

Most large crocodiles live in swamps with muddy water, that's not easy to look for, so to use that as an excuse that the idea that the 7000 pound shark report is more reliable is absurd and fallacious and a double standard.

  your welcome for clearing up your misconceptions Pckts! 

I mean it seems you refuse to believe about the limitations of sharks no matter what Reply
