Just a quickie this as I’m guessing that these two must actually meet occasionally around Australia.

Now I know that crocs are pretty tough, evil muthas but surely one bite from a Great White and it’s all over? Also I would think that sharks are better swimmers.

So I’m going Great White. And I ought to inform you that I intend to grimly hold on to my conclusion in defiance of any evidence brought up by anyone else.
