Product Information

Australia has a reputation for its terrifying animals and this video has only added fuel to the fire. Our first category is the weight. A Great White Shark is an enormous creature, weighing up to 5000 pounds. In fact, some sharks have been known to weigh much more than that. A Saltwater Crocodile seems no competition for a shark, with a weight of mere 1000 pounds.

Indo-Pacific crocodile distribution – including the range of "wanderer" crocs – based on a map by Adam Britton. So what do we know about the seafaring tendencies of crocodiles? And what to make of other reports from this year, of multiple alligators turning up in the surf along the southeastern United States? And hey – what happens when a high-seas traveller of a crocodile meets a big shark?

Keep in mind that anyone can view public collections—they may also appear in recommendations and other places. So we know these reptiles are capable of long excursions through marine waters – but where are they going? "We assume they are traveling along the coastline to a different river system," suggests one of the researchers, University of Queensland's Craig Franklin. "[Most are] mid-sized males. Possibly they have been displaced by larger males in the river system they came from and are now looking for an alternative to inhabit and breed."

In recent years, a few crocs – likely drifters from Cuba, which has more American crocs than anywhere else – have reared their snaggletooth heads in the Cayman Islands, which probably once supported their own resident population. SURF RIDERS Even more impressively, a six- to seven-foot gator circled an oil platform roughly 40 miles off the Louisiana mainland in the Gulf of Mexico in 2005. The oil workers who spotted the seafaring beast wondered whether it was seeking a haul-out to rest. One told a biologist investigating the sighting that he'd seen an offshore alligator only once before, maybe 16 miles out in the Gulf, but none of the others had ever observed one. The Great White Shark can detect its prey from miles away. It has an exceptional sense of smell. They are also capable of sensing the electromagnetic fields generated by other animals. It’s not easy for a Saltwater Crocodile to take a shark by surprise.The Great White Shark scores greater on most points we have looked at so far. But the Saltwater Crocodile will definitely prove a tough opponent in a fight. They are known to be deadly and aggressive creatures, adept in the art of killing. If it comes to a fight between the two, the outcome may surprise us! However, although rare, it is not entirely impossible. Crocodiles are great swimmers and may sometimes wander far off into the sea. Both sharks and crocodiles move around in groups and eat whatever comes their way. It is possible that they might cross each other and go head to head! Tiger sharks – which commonly patrol coastal waterways – could pose a threat to any croc, given their large size, robust serrated teeth (which can saw through a sea-turtle shell like nobody's business), and up-for-anything predatory habits. So could, of course, the more massive great white shark, which grows to similar lengths as Indo-Pacific or Nile crocodiles and can substantially outweigh them. There are records of white sharks preying on adult American crocodiles in the Columbian Caribbean. Like their Indo-Pacific counterparts, American crocs sometimes meander well outside their established range. South Florida crocs have materialized well north up the coasts of the Sunshine State, and even off South Carolina. Crocs from the Lower Florida Keys occasionally make deepwater crossings out to the remote Dry Tortugas. In Sonora, Mexico (where they've vanished), American crocs used to periodically stray northward along the Sea of Cortez's desert shores as far as Tiburon Island.
