SEE: Extraordinary pictures of a crocodile eating a shark
An Australian man has captured a crocodile closing in on a shark and snapping it up in its jaws.
The croc, which weighed in at 1,500lb, was captured on camera gobbling up a shark.
Yes, you read right.
Research scientist and photographer Mark Ziembicki was on a visit to the east coast of Australia when he came across the sighting.
In the multiple snaps that Mark managed to take, you can see that the crocodile manages to get the shark upside down between its jaws with nowhere to go.
The attack happened just 60 feet away from where Mark was standing. Recalling the moment, Mark shared the following:
While we were busy taking photos of another crocodile on the bank there was some commotion about one-hundred feet away. A local resident of the area who was also there, shouted there was a croc eating a shark. We turned to see the shark thrashing away in the crocodile's mouth. It spent about ten minutes with the shark in its jaws, tossing it about. The shark gradually moved less until it was eventually swallowed whole headfirst. We were completely taken by surprise. We'd been observing both the crocodiles and sharks in the area for several hours and were wondering what would happen if the two might meet.
It is said that crocodiles have the most powerful bite in the animal kingdom, their grip is said to be able to exert a force that is eight times greater than that of a Great White Shark.
