What will be the outcome of an epic battle between a Saltwater Crocodile and the Great White Shark? Do you guys have any guesses yet? If you have seen the film Jaws or Sharknado, you will most likely bet on the shark! But the Saltwater Crocodile is an equally dangerous predator. Saltwater crocodiles can weigh up to 1000 pounds. They are huge in size. A full-grown saltie can measure up to 17 feet in length. They have an average lifespan of 70 years. 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 is stronger and bigger than the Saltwater Crocodile. A Saltwater Crocodile, however, proves to be a deadlier animal. But what will finally tip the scales in either one’s favor? This is where hunting skills and technique comes in.

“That Indo-Pacific crocodiles are occasional mariners is well established. The historical range of this biggest living reptile is a vast ocean-dominated kingdom.”

It may be rare for the two fighters to meet. But until then, let’s say there’s a hypothetical battle between a Saltwater Crocodile and the Great White Shark. Who do you think will survive and take the winning trophy home? Here’s our final verdict! Both the fighters are well-matched in skill, strength, and power. But who will be our most likely winner? Let us look at some hard facts and find out together. The Saltwater Crocodile has strong jaws and an incredible bite force that can crush any prey to death. They have a bite force of 3700 psi. This is higher than any other crocodile species. However, a Great White Shark’s bite force exceeds even a crocodile’s at 4000 psi. Great White Sharks prey on sea lions, seals, sea birds, crustaceans, mollusks, orcas, and even other sharks. They are also known to feed on dead whales. Like crocodiles, sharks are carnivorous creatures as well.

American crocs also have an extensive, mostly coastal dominion, cruising tidewater rivers, lagoons, mangrove swamps, and offshore cays and atolls from South Florida down to South America's northern Pacific and Atlantic coasts. They've been found encrusted with barnacles, and spotted munching sea turtles at nesting beaches and pelicans offshore. In fact, one study revealed that South Florida crocodiles have a diet of 65 percent marine prey – and suggested the animals "may be capable of being ecologically isolated from freshwater ecosystems". 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.The Great White Shark is an excellent swimmer as well, with its perfect streamlined body. With over 300 serrated teeth and a bite force of over 4000 psi, it is unlikely that its prey will survive its fatal clutches. It is also bigger and heavier, which allows it to easily overpower its opponent.
