This looks like a 3 to 4m crocodile eating what is described as a 2m bull shark. Very impressive display of power from the crocodile in presumably killing this sizable shark and then throwing it around like this, presumably to dismember and eat smaller pieces of it.

Very impressive display of power from the crocodile in presumably killing this sizable shark and then throwing it around like this, presumably to dismember and eat smaller pieces of it. One of the comments to this YT video suggest this animal might be an Australian freshwater sawfish rather than a shark. I think that is a strong possibility. The only shark this could be in this freshwater would be a bull shark, and this animal seems quite gracile for a bull shark of 2 m. Also if you pause the video around 32 seconds, it looks like you might be able to see a long saw from the fish rather than the normal blunt snout of a bull shark. Admittedly the angle is not quite clear, but it does look like more of a long slender type of shape rather than a blunt snout. Possibly the most telling is the dorsal fins, which look decidedly more like a sawfish than a bull shark. At 36 seconds, and also other parts of the video, you can see two distinct and similar size dorsal fins, which is exactly like a sawfish. A bull shark has the large dorsal fin in the middle of its body and then a much smaller one near the keel. Given all this, I think there is a high probability this is a sawfish. Crocs and bull sharks are also known predators of sawfish. QuoteEditShare
