  1. There is no contest a White Shark would win over a Salt water Crocodile. The reason being a white shark on average maturity is anywhere between 2,400lbs to well over 5,000 + lbs, and the average mean salt water crocodile is about 1,000 lbs. So your looking at a size comparison of @ least 2-1/2 times to 5 times the size of the crocodile. Also there has been speculation that a salt water crocodile may get beyond 3,000 lbs but the largest ever captured Crocodile to date was LoLong at just over 2,300 lbs that's not even half the weight of the bigger white sharks. And therefore the size mismatch should instantly clear up speculation about whether a Salt water crocodile could ever use its death roll tactic against a shark. Probably not since the shark has a 3 to 1 or even as much as a 5 to 1 weight advantage over the saltwater crocodile so it could never use a death roll. Another point the white sharks razor sharp teeth would bite through a Crocodile relatively thin Neck as was observed recently when a large Crocs head wash ashore in South Africa. Which has already been said that a large predatory shark or great white caught that large crocodile out of its usual enviroment took it down and devour it. The White Shark has been tagged off the california coast and have had migratory patterns that take them all over the world From Australia to the US and back. The Crocodile leads a very soliatary life in comparison living primarily is the marsh and estuaries. They may go off shore but not for prolonged perids of time for their own safety for sure. The White Shark has been observed to dive down to @ least 4,000 ft and then back down to 3,000 feet. And still we don't know how much deeper than can dive. The Crocodiles dive to perhaps 100 ft and not much further they live in maybe 10 to 15 feet of water many times close to the rivers edge to catch prey. The Sharks can't be matched in swimming. If the Crocodile has an advantage its close to land where it can use its feet. And I would venture to say even if a shark came into an estuary like it has up in Massachusetts as long as its within 10 to 15 feet deep of water the shark will still win. Its like comparing a 100lbs kid to a 20 lbs er! No Contest! White Shark Eats the Crocodile for Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner! Also the White Shark does not get intimidated by size the White Shark takes its largest known food source is the Southern Elephant Seal that can be upwards of 12,000 to 13,000 lbs much heavier than the shark. But nonetheless still a staple in the Great Whites diet and larger great whites eat baby or smaller killer whales too! So a 1,000 lbs or a 2,200 lbs Crocodile is like a snack!
