 The porbeagle (Lamna nasus) is a species of mackerel shark in the family Lamnidae, distributed widely in the cold and temperate marine waters of the North Atlantic and Southern Hemisphere vs.  The New Guinea crocodile (Crocodylus novaeguineae) is a small species of crocodile found on the island of New Guinea north of the mountain ridge that runs along the centre of the island. |

The Porbeagle shark looks like a small Megalodon. @hammerhead Hardcastle Bolushi oldgreengrolar Also Hammerhead can you make some dunkleosteus and sarcosuchus match-ups? Thanks. |

I’ll try, perhaps Dunkleosteus vs a similar sized shark and Sarcosuchus vs a similar sized dinosaur. Lmk if you have any better ideas. |

I’d favor the croc in shallow water where the shark has less room to move around.
The Shark takes this handily in deep water due to its superior speed and mobility. It can attack from below, biting the croc’s underbelly. It’s in the same genus as the very fast salmon shark.

I may call mismatch on croc's favor unless the croc is teleported at the ocean floor. This shark cannot see. Major disadvantage. At least I assume because it lives in no light.

^I tend to think lamnids have decent vision..
Better than say, a bull shark.

Sharks have good eyesight and this one does too… also are you seriously saying a shark would lose against a crocodile because of this? Sharks have exceptional and highly refined senses, lack of eyesight would barely affect it due to electromagnetism. Also this crocodile feeds on snails, spiders, insects and sometimes small mammals…. The shark is larger and can travel at up to speeds of 20 mph too, this is hardly a mismatch. |

I wonder who Hardcastle thinks would win…
Is there anything special about the New Guinea crocodile in particular compared to other Crocodylus?

Many pelagic fish like tuna and billfish have good eyesight to chase down their prey. I don’t have any data on this species but I don’t see why it should be any different. |

The jaws of small sharks suck in comparison to large sharks so the croc wins. |
