Crocodile (Lake Placid) vs. Jaws

If it's gums are bleeding, then Jaws will smell it long before, as a great white can smell a drop of blood in the water at close to a mile away.

Jaws will probably die in 5-30 years of AIDS though, so the croc will get it's revenge.

Hold the phone.
Animals can get AIDS?

Sure why not.

That's messed-up.
In that case, L.P. Croc then.

I'll give you the speed & agility part, but the "jaw power" advantage is just laughable. A crocs bite force is probably double that, of a shark.

its like if u try to bend iron bar 1) with arms stretched (== croc) and 2) by holding it close to you (== shark)
u get better chance if u hold it close cuz theres >>> pressure (closer to axis o rotation)

I win ok.

lol you seen the difference in jaw size? croc jaws are allmost like "flat" & way longer compare to shark jaws. wheres the crocs jaws get the strenght to compensate for that?

Looking online, crocs have measured at 2.5 tons of psi, while great whites have done 1.8 tons of psi.

So they both have enough power to probably gut each other in the first good bite; Jaws is likely to land that first, considering speed and maneuverability.

So AIDS or no AIDS, Jaws wins.

edit: One thing of note, crocs teeth are cone in shape, they're made for grabbing and holding. A great white's are triangular and serrated, designed to shred.

No hes right. Whatever you may think, a croc 1/4 the size of this one has a bite force of about 3000 psi. A shark just has really sharp teeth and an average bite strength.

sharks can cruch sea turtle shells (they do it to get the meat inside)

Crocs can crush a Blastoise's shell (they do it to get the meat inside)

I think this depends on whether or not said Blastoise used Withdraw.
You also have to take level into account.

what about the figures for the shark? (maybe its off the chart or no one took the risk 😄)

crocs have measured at 2.5 tons of psi, while great whites have done 1.8 tons of psi, as stated above.

either that or it means shark jaws are super-weak despite there size but then it goes against evolution

It means that for their overall size/weight, great whites don't bite as hard as crocs.

1.8 tons of bite isn't "super-weak" and I don't follow the "goes against evolution", as that is definitely enough force to obliterate anything the shark preys on, fish and seals.

the figure itself dont sound weak, but given the sharks rilly massive jaws yeah it is rilly weak :/

Okay then, if you're ever unfortunate enough to get bitten by a great white, be sure to tell it that.

lol so you rather get bitten by a croc? 😛

many have survive btw (tho they had scars) http://media.rd.com/rd/images/rdc/mag0807/shark-04-af.jpg

if shark jaws wuz as strong as they look then theyd be >>>>> 1.8 psi or whatever

btw whats yur source for the shark & croc bite figures?

strike that heres what i found :

looks like six6six wuz right

sux for evolution 😕
