There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

Elephant seals are far larger than any prey crocodiles can take so the idea that Sharks take smaller prey proportionately isn't correct.
It's also obvious in their hunting strategy, GWS's hit and run, meaning they attack and sit back and let the prey bleed out while Crocodiles must bite and hold so obviously they cannot do that to animals too large which is why you have never seen a crocodile successfully take an adult Cape Buffalo for instance, it happens I'm sure but those are very rare cases compared to many modern day cases of Sharks attacking Elephant Seals.
