It’s not a dog-eat-dog world out there, though predators fight other predators all the time. It’s more like a crocodile-eat-shark world out there, as this awesome image taken in Australia attests to. In the poorly-named Alligator River in the hilariously-named Kakadu National Park in Australia’s wild Northern Territory, a wildlife photographer caught this awesome photo of nature’s fury in action as the greatest predator of the seas gets bested by the greatest predator of fresh water. Score one for the scaled, as crocodile beats (and eats) shark!
Apparently, crocs are getting a taste for sharks in Australia, or sharks are getting more bold in their forays into rivers. According to Dean Cameron, a tour guide in the Kakadu region, this isn’t the first time a croc has caught a shark and dragged it ashore to turn it into dinner, and it won’t be the last. “It would have been amazing to see (the attack) – very wild footage,” Cameron said. “The croc would’ve taken the shark at night and then it would’ve had to take it to the bank to eat it.”
