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.

I wonder, is here now some doubt, that a big crocodile couldn´t give a nasty bite for a big shark? Or that a big shark couldn´t do the same for a big crocodile?
When looking at shark, best places for a crock to bite to make big injuries would be fins, tail and body near tail I think, from those parts crocodile could easily get a good and strong bite and able to do deep cuts, maybe even rip a fin or tail apart and cause mortal injuries for a shark. Then again when looking at crocodile and thinking what shark bite would do is another issue. Would it be able to injure a crocodile easier is another question. Of course a crocodile could bite in other parts of shark too, but because of different kind of anatomy, it might have best results when biting to certain parts of the big shark when thinking really dangerous cuts.
Both have quite big jaws which they can open wide. One issue is crocodile tail too, it might be one way for a crocodile to get rid of a shark if shark would be able to make a surprise attack and bite. Unless that first bite would be right away lethal. These are some thoughts crossing in my mind, when looking at these animals and possible situation of predation to each others. Very unlikely thing to happen, I guess, but of course interesting one to make hypotheses :)
