James Nifong, an ecologist at the University of Kansas, has discovered and discovered this reptile species chews animal flesh in the layer of fish bearing plate, including sharks and rays. In particular, he found that there was once a case of American crocodile eating lemon shark meat, shovel shark, hinged shark, and Atlantic stingray.

In addition, through historical records he found that there were cases of sharks hunting American crocodiles. This proves that crocodiles and sharks, two predators have special hunting habits, often confront each other despite having different habitats.

In South Africa, a Nile crocodile is found with two unidentified sharks in the abdomen. In Australia, people have seen saltwater crocodiles glide on the water to hunt white-eyed buffalo sharks.

In particular, Nifong also found records of sharks attacking a large crocodile herd in 1877. At that time, hundreds of sharks found a group of American crocodiles gathered in a cove near Jupiter, Florida, America has come to attack. After many days, the bodies of both species are scattered throughout the 128km long beach.
