Remarkable pictures show the 1,500-pound crocodile rising up and sinking its jaws into the 100-pound baby bull shark during the horrifying encounter in the east of Australia.
The extraordinary moment an enormous one-thousand-five-hundred-pound crocodile eats a shark has been captured on camera.
In one photo, the crocodile could be seen closing in on the 100-pound bull shark pup with its huge mouth open wide, ready to feast on its prey.
The reptile was pictured in a second image with the shark upside down between its jaws, unable to escape its grim fate.
This once in a lifetime moment was captured by research scientist and photographer Mark Ziembicki (46) from North Queensland, Australia, during a visit to the east coast of Australia.
According to Mark, the combination of the recent opening of the St Lucia estuary and excessive rainfall inland caused freshwater species to be washed downriver into saline coastal waters, leading to the unlikely meeting between the two apex predators – which happened just 60 feet away from where Mark was standing.
