If sharks had issues with lactic acid, they would drown, so that's out.
Actually, for the continuous slow motion sharks uses red aerobic . But the active movement use working of the white anaerobic muscle fibers that produce lactic acid.
Do not compels saltwater crocodile swimming to great depths. He will attack shark at the surface.
Sharks also have problems with lactic acid in the muscles. Red muscle fibers are used only for slow swimming. In half? It's funny... I would like to see how the great white shark kills the animal...
No, muscles of sharks are extremely weak as they do not have support in the form of a bone skeleton. Even the largest white sharks can be caught on a fishing line. In addition, muscle percentage of the total body mass in a crocodile is not less than in the shark (only one liver of a shark makes...
Really? And anything that a shark does not have a bony skeleton needed to fastening of powerful muscles? Saltwater crocodile physically much stronger than the white shark and can crush it with one bite in the head or in the tail, while the shark jaws, designed for small and soft-bodied animals...
I think even the most ferocious, "both are bloodlusted" shark would think three times before appearing on the way at the territorial male saltwater crocodile.
Even a small non-aggressive young crocodile feels comfortable in the company of large sharks:
Couple Visited By Sharks And Crocodiles...
Strange reflections.
Stamina of crocodile would be enough to kill a bear when capturing, and the intelligence and the ability to stand on its hind legs will not help a bear in a deadly battle.
Grizzly also rarely reach weigh in ~ 700 kg. In fact, i have not seen the scientific evidence of grizzly weighing more than 500 kg (perhaps in this case, the black bear been confused with grizzly because black bears also do not reach weight of 450 kg according to the scientific descriptions)...
I did not say that "saltwater crocodile on several leagues stronger than grizzly bear". But alligators really be in another league, in the league of smaller and less powerful predators.
Hmmm... I would like to see that leopard or a cougar hurt adult male saltwater crocodile.)
Do not compare cowardly alligators with crocodiles.
Crocodiles vs alligators
I could quote many other accounts proving that bears are not professional fighters or killers (for example, where the cougar seriously hurt 450 kg grizzly). It omnivores, not obligate carnivores.
1600 pound grizzly bear is a fake, see http://www.adn.com/article/20130509/debunking-1600-pound-man-eating-grizzly-alaska. In fact, it was a 1000-1200 pound bear. This is the weight of an average adult male saltwater crocodile. And the reliably measured crocodiles weighing more than 2,200...
Really silly comparison. If the 2-3 ton male hippo can kill 100 kg 3m Nile crocodile, it does not mean that adult male grizzly bear weighing about 300 kg will kill the adult male saltwater crocodile weighing about 450 kg.
Besides, large Nile crocodiles weighing more than 500-600 kg, as we know...
But croc's belly still protected by belly edges which are stronger than keratin claws of a bear, and bears do not usually use claws to fight, and more often causing bites. Besides, the crocodile is much more physically stronger than a bear, and mammal will not be able to turn it in any way.
I think, saltwater crocodile would win. Croc is larger and much physically stronger. Besides, saltie is much more aggressive and more located to the conflict, than grizzly bear.
And, yes, Belly is not a weak point of a crocodiles.
I don't see how tupa will harm a saltie. Although the collision attack can injure humans, it is unlikely to harm less high and more robust crocodile. At the same time, if a saltwater crocodile caught tupa, it can easy kill him with their jaws. And near the water, saltie will do it easily.
