So we know these reptiles are capable of long excursions through marine waters – but where are they going? "We assume they are traveling along the coastline to a different river system," suggests one of the researchers, University of Queensland's Craig Franklin. "[Most are] mid-sized males. Possibly they have been displaced by larger males in the river system they came from and are now looking for an alternative to inhabit and breed." The Great White Shark scores greater on most points we have looked at so far. But the Saltwater Crocodile will definitely prove a tough opponent in a fight. They are known to be deadly and aggressive creatures, adept in the art of killing. If it comes to a fight between the two, the outcome may surprise us!

Great White Sharks are great predators, with nearly 300 sharp serrated teeth. These tear into flesh and pull it apart into small chunks which they swallow whole. On the other hand, the Saltwater Crocodile has a total of 66 teeth. These are sharp and perfect for grabbing its prey with a death hold. 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".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.

But what will finally tip the scales in either one’s favor? This is where hunting skills and technique comes in.

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!

When a Saltwater Crocodile and a Great White Shark go head to head, who do you think has the greater chances? Let’s weigh their strengths and weaknesses to find out.

Like their Indo-Pacific counterparts, American crocs sometimes meander well outside their established range. South Florida crocs have materialized well north up the coasts of the Sunshine State, and even off South Carolina. Crocs from the Lower Florida Keys occasionally make deepwater crossings out to the remote Dry Tortugas. In Sonora, Mexico (where they've vanished), American crocs used to periodically stray northward along the Sea of Cortez's desert shores as far as Tiburon Island.A Great White Shark weighs five times more than a Saltwater Crocodile. A shark can weigh up to 5000 pounds, while a saltie weighs only 1000 pounds. 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. Saltwater Crocodiles are found in parts of India, Southeast Asia, and Australia. On the other hand, Great White Sharks are usually seen in the cool coastal regions of the United States, South Africa, and Japan. They seem to live quite far apart. It is a rare thing for a Saltwater Crocodile and a Great White Shark to meet. It’s even rarer that we would see them at each other’s throats in an intense battle! Sharks frequent the coastal waters while saltwater crocodiles usually hang out in salty marshes.
