At first , you might intend that Croc vs. Shark is just something that gets discussed in the writers ’ rooms at SyFy . But there are some places in the world where crocs and shark do swim the same waters . Like in Australia .
Brutus , the 18 - foot local celebrity ( who , according to legend , lost his front arm to a shark ) is a brine crocodile , or saltie , which means he can survive both in novel and in salt water , and in the brackish piss where the two meet . The massive species is also the largest living reptilian on the major planet . also , bull sharks can also survive in smart water . So it ’s not quite so strange for the two to have met .
AtEarth Touch News , Sarah Keartes has the back story :
Sydney photographer Andrew Paice was on a circuit with his syndicate on Australia’sAdelaide Riveron Tuesday when he catch an 80 - year - old saltwater crocodile ( locally cognise as Brutus ) with a juvenile dogshit shark clenched between its jaw .
“ We ’d fed Brutus on the bank in the first place and were coming back past,”Paice tells Northern Territory News . “ [ We ] see something in his sass … Brutus took the shark back into the water and then bulge out to sway it around a bit , [ then head ] back into the Rhizophora mangle like he was protecting his target . ”

Why turn to the ridiculous narrative spun byShark Weekwhen there ’s existent drama unfolding in the natural world ?
