Who wins in a shark versus crocodile stand-off?

Amazing photos show what happens when a monster croc meets a bull shark.

Who wins in a shark versus crocodile stand-off?

Could this crocodile be any more of a bad ass? Brutus is thought to be 80 years old, is 16.5 feet long and is now missing one of his front legs. Oh yeah - and he eats sharks for breakfast.

Passengers on an 11am cruise down the Adelaide River in Australia were just enjoying the sights when they saw Brutus - who is a bit of a local celebrity - take on a large bull shark.

Passenger Andrew Paice told NT News how it happened.

“We’d fed Brutus on the bank earlier and were coming back past and we saw something in his mouth,” Mr Paice said.

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

We want to see Brutus take on one of the Great Whites from yesterday's video. Now that would be an epic battle.
