Shark No Match For Croc...

We have sharks in our rivers, but they are no match to our crocs...I really felt sorry for the shark reading this story from our Northern Territory state.

Rivers in the Territory are home to several species of shark, which travel hundreds of kilometres inland. The bull shark is the most common and is a voracious predator that can grow to over three metres in length.

This large bull shark might have thought it was safe to go back in the water. But he didn’t count on Brutus, Adelaide River’s most famous and fearsome resident, who showed the shark who was the true king of the waterway.

​

The 5.5-metre croc Brutus, who is thought to be more than 80 years old, is also known for his missing front leg. The story goes that the limb was lost in a shark attack. Yesterday, Brutus took his revenge after stealing it from a fisherman on the beach at Cobourg Peninsula in the NT.

“The shark was still alive. Brutus took the shark back into the water, then started to shake it around a bit. “He then went back into the mangroves as if protecting his prey.”

Brutus, who usually feasts on buffalo meat, quickly added some fish to his diet. The cruise, on Fogg Dam Road, takes place on a section of the river about 80km inland.

Not exactly a fair fight. The shark couldn't take on a Rottweiler.
