Even more impressively, a six- to seven-foot gator circled an oil platform roughly 40 miles off the Louisiana mainland in the Gulf of Mexico in 2005. The oil workers who spotted the seafaring beast wondered whether it was seeking a haul-out to rest. One told a biologist investigating the sighting that he'd seen an offshore alligator only once before, maybe 16 miles out in the Gulf, but none of the others had ever observed one.

Our first category is the weight. A Great White Shark is an enormous creature, weighing up to 5000 pounds. In fact, some sharks have been known to weigh much more than that. A Saltwater Crocodile seems no competition for a shark, with a weight of mere 1000 pounds.

Great White Sharks are the bigger predator. They are aquatic giants, measuring up to 20 feet. The Saltwater Crocodile is close behind, measuring up to 17 feet from head to tail. So what do we know about the seafaring tendencies of crocodiles? And what to make of other reports from this year, of multiple alligators turning up in the surf along the southeastern United States? And hey – what happens when a high-seas traveller of a crocodile meets a big shark?

What if two of the deadliest aquatic predators ever—the Saltwater Crocodile and the Great White Shark —were up against each other in a historic battle? Mr Kennedy told The West Australian: "I've seen sharks and crocs in the wild, but I've never seen a croc catch a shark before. The Great White Shark is stronger and bigger than the Saltwater Crocodile. A Saltwater Crocodile, however, proves to be a deadlier animal. But what will finally tip the scales in either one’s favor? This is where hunting skills and technique comes in. Like their Indo-Pacific counterparts, American crocs sometimes meander well outside their established range. South Florida crocs have materialized well north up the coasts of the Sunshine State, and even off South Carolina. Crocs from the Lower Florida Keys occasionally make deepwater crossings out to the remote Dry Tortugas. In Sonora, Mexico (where they've vanished), American crocs used to periodically stray northward along the Sea of Cortez's desert shores as far as Tiburon Island.

So we know these reptiles are capable of long excursions through marine waters – but where are they going? "We assume they are traveling along the coastline to a different river system," suggests one of the researchers, University of Queensland's Craig Franklin. "[Most are] mid-sized males. Possibly they have been displaced by larger males in the river system they came from and are now looking for an alternative to inhabit and breed."

They have a bite force of 3700 psi. This is higher than any other crocodile species. However, a Great White Shark’s bite force exceeds even a crocodile’s at 4000 psi.

But what about honest-to-goodness transoceanic journeys? Most Indo-Pacific crocs probably restrict themselves to coastal cruising, and the few that end up far offshore may have simply been swept there by accident. But perhaps, rarely, certain crocs strike off on pelagic voyages to disperse, riding an ocean gyre to distant shores. "At sea, you have no visual point of reference, but we know that crocodiles can navigate using non-visual references – magnetic fields being one – so they may be able to detect when they're in a current out at sea," suggests Britton. Saltwater Crocodiles are the largest living crocodiles today. They are found in parts of India, Southeast Asia, and Australia. They frequent salty or freshwater swamps. A Saltwater Crocodile can easily have a human for its meal. But will a Great White Shark meet the same fate? We’ll see! Both the fighters are well-matched in skill, strength, and power. But who will be our most likely winner? Let us look at some hard facts and find out together. Tiger sharks – which commonly patrol coastal waterways – could pose a threat to any croc, given their large size, robust serrated teeth (which can saw through a sea-turtle shell like nobody's business), and up-for-anything predatory habits. So could, of course, the more massive great white shark, which grows to similar lengths as Indo-Pacific or Nile crocodiles and can substantially outweigh them. There are records of white sharks preying on adult American crocodiles in the Columbian Caribbean. If we look at the number of humans killed every year by the two creatures, a Saltwater Crocodile proves to be the deadlier predator. Sharks are way behind in this case.Australia has a reputation for its terrifying animals and this video has only added fuel to the fire. Given their taste for nesting sea turtles and their habit of bee-lining for certain fish runs, it's also likely that full-grown adults sometimes use the ocean as a "highway" to commute between river mouths or turtle rookeries. Crocodiles may also use marine habitat for nesting: American crocs in South Florida mostly frequent mangrove swamps, but some females enter Florida Bay off the Everglades National Park coast to lay eggs on remote keys.
