I was amazed I even caught it on camera.' 'I never even thought about a crocodile catching a shark before. The the crocodile swam into the mangroves, I guess to protect his catch,' Mr Paice said. The crocodile slid back into the water and the shark started to flip around a bit.

The tour guide, Morgan from Adelaide River Cruises, backed the boat back just as Brutus the crocodile was on the river bank with the shark in its mouth. It is believed that Brutus lost his right leg in a fight with a shark years ago, although he clearly came out the winner in his fight with a bull shark on Tuesday We were on our way back to the jetty when we saw (the crocodile) had something in his mouth.' 'We were near the end of the tour and we'd fed all of the crocodiles along the river. Brutus is quite well known up here… he jumps really high for an old crocodile,' he told Daily Mail Australia. 'The tour guide had Brutus jumping at some meat the first time we went past him. The photograph was snapped by Sydney man Andrew Paice who was on a cruise down Kakadu's Adelaide River on Tuesday with his partner Nikki and seven-year-old daughter Madison. The crocodile attracted international attention when pictures emerged of him eating a shark on Tuesday. It's like seeing a dinosaur really, that's what a lot of them say.' To see them in the wild up so close, I think they're awed. A lot of people who come on these cruises haven't seen a crocodile before. When tourists see him 'they're pretty awed', said Mr Bowman. 'He's been with us for quite a few years, we can't guarantee that he'll come out at every cruise, but he makes appearances pretty regularly.'īrutus's appeal, he says is his 'sheer size and the fact he's missing a leg.'

'We get many phone calls, are you the one who has Brutus? Have we got the right tour to see Brutus? You could say he's a local celebrity.' 'We get a lot of requests about Brutus,' said Harry Bowman from Adelaide River Cruises. Brutus, the 5.5-metre crocodile who is believed to be 80 years old first made international headlines when he was snapped in this 2011 photo (left)
