Crocodile vs Shark

If a Crocodile battled an equal sized Shark, who do you think would win? as far as i know, both spicies are "remains" from the dinosaur ages, and both can be quite lethal predators.

Crocodile!

Gotta be the Shark....Have you ever seen Jaws, enough said

A crocs only weapons is it's bite and the gator roll in the water.I don't foresee the gator drowning a shark and while the crocs got a nasty bite,it can't get much leverage to shake the shark enough to really put it's teeth to work in the water.If the croc could drag the shark onto land it's a done deal for the shark although I don't think I've ever heard of a shark doing that.Usually it's bite out of water then drag them in.

As for the shark...If it's a great white,one bite and half the croc is gone.Smaller sharks would use the hit and run technique.Take a chunk swim off,come back and bite again swim off.

Speed wins it for the shark

they'd both be out of their element, crocks don't fight in water deep enough for a shark and vice versa.



but id say shark

Yeah, I'd have to go with shark as well.

I ran across this interesting tidbit today, I may change my vote

(the above condensed)
The saltwater or estuarine crocodile (Crocodylus porosus) is a ferocious giant that can grow at least 23 feet long (7 meters) and weigh more than 2,200 pounds (1000 kilograms). These scaly monsters have been known to devour sharks, and even attack things they can't eat, often assaulting boats in the mistaken belief they are rivals or prey, biting down with nearly 2 tons of pressure - powerful enough to crush bone or punch through aluminum hulls.

or just get out of the pool!
