I actually favor the crocodile this time due to its deadlier jaws, armor which can maybe withstand the shark’s small teeth, and probably superior speed & mobility.

Greenland sharks have tough skin, possibly over twice size, toxic flesh, twistable jaws and better senses, along with being able to perform short but quick bursts of speed. Its teeth are serrated at the lower jaw, but not at the upper jaw. The serrated teeth point in different directions and grind their prey up, it is likely that the lower jaw will be biting the softer underbelly of the crocodile, and causing devastating blood loss. The crocodile is faster and has a strong bite too though. So I don't know. |

While I support the great white shark over the Croc, I am unsure of how the Greenland shark will fare. The Croc has a much better chance of beatings a Greenland shark compared to a great white shark.

I think so too, the greenland seems fairly sluggish. This sluggishness may be overestimated by some, but it's still undeniably fairly slow moving. I don't know if the croc would realistically attack such a behemoth, especially if that size comparison is accurate, BUT it has the physical attributes to potentially win if it did IMO. I like the crocodilians gripping jaw for combat. If a croc gets a hold on the side of the GLS's face, there's really nothing it can do. The croc can then death roll the side of it's head off. I'm not saying it will do this, it won't, but it has the physical capability to. I think realistically these two would pass eachother like ships in the night.

Yes, greenland troddles around in the sand at the bottom of the ocean at very slow speeds and evolved in the cold waters which is a colossal negative for speed. These 2 would not fight but if they did the croc would be faster and more evolved and win with little to no damage taken. If the shark does end up chomping on it that would be a problem though.

The water temperature would play a major factor. As long as the water is at some temperature bearable to both adversaries, I'd wager on the crocodile.
I will add that the crocodile has been observed chasing off very big sharks off the coast of Australia. Territorial. It is my opinion that the sharks; possibly tiger and great whites, simply have no reason to make physical contact with the aggressive crocodile.

Good point, crocs seem to be more territorial than sharks but I am sure they will approach these predatory fish with more caution outside their territory. |
