  1. Crocodiles are no less deadly than sharks. Although their dentition is very different, and they have an entirely different lifestyle, crocodiles are still very deadly animals. In my opinion, the shark should have been crippled from the get-go when the crocodile bit its pre-maxilla. The largest crocodilians (excluding the Indian gharial) can have a bite force between 3,500 to possibly over 5,000 pounds. The pointed, conical teeth belonging to the crocodile in conjunction with the very high bite force is a very deadly concoction. However, the idea that the crocodile had an immediate disadvantage when compared to the shark in open ocean is logical. Crocs actually have sensory organs all over the body (as opposed to alligators which have them only in the jaw area). And yes, crocs DO specialize in gripping, as their teeth are long and conical as opposed to thin and serrated. But what your post is lacking is elaboration on that subject. Gharials and slender-snouted crocodiles are actually best adapted for gripping aquatic prey. Of course, gharials and other slender-snouted crocodilians do not take down sharks, but you get the point. And have you seen what a croc can do to a zebra? Watch this: (Beware, this video is gorey. Do NOT watch if you are squeamish) And what makes you think the crocodile wouldn't be able to kill the shark in open ocean? The bite that the croc had on the shark's head should have been deadly enough, let alone ripping the shark's f*cking fin off! The bite of a saltwater crocodile has been measured are over 3,500 pounds. Unless there is proof that the shark's head could withstand that much pressure, you don't have much leverage. Oh yea, and crocs are ambush hunters as well... Nope. Saltwater crocodiles are the largest living reptile. The Orinoco is even small compared to the Nile crocodile and possibly the American crocodile. Crocodiles have stronger bite forces than sharks due to their more "force" adapted way of killing. Where is your proof that crocodiles have more fat in the body than sharks do? Crocodiles are very muscular as well
