Winners are grinners. Pictures: ANTHONY CAPOGRECOTHERE could only ever be one winner in this battle.
And this croc won the encounter with a gulp.
The 4.5m saltwater crocodile went head-to-head with the shark last week only metres from a boatload of surprised fishermen.

CRAIG VAN LAWICK was aboard the commercial barramundi vessel on the Wildman River 100km east of Darwin when the croc started devouring the one-metre shark.
"There was not a whole lot of sound," he said.
"All we could hear was the crunching sound."

Mr Van Lawick was unsure about the type of shark involved and said it was eaten too quickly to work it out.
Luckily another fisherman on board, Anthony Capogreco, reached for his camera and captured the animals in their brief but dramatic battle.
