Who would win?

By the way, their speed is undefined, so therefore, we must assume that it is equal unless otherwise proven.

I'm putting my money on the flying Croc for two main reasons.

1st) He has a longer reach with his jaws. So he's usually going to have the first attack in any brawl.

2nd) He can turn his head, thereby eliminating the idea of head on attacks.

The reason I bring this up, by the way, is because of Adult Swim on cartoon network.

How are the shark and croc flying? Wings?

Posted by T_Smith (Member # 3734) on :

Doesn't matter, but the picture suggests Shark has Jet Pack and the Croc has wings.

Like I said, speed has been undefined.

Goober.

Posted by peterh (Member # 5208) on :

Shark.

Swimming is much more like flying. And no matter how much time a croc spends in water, the shark will have an advantage in the 3 dimensions of flight.

Posted by T_Smith (Member # 3734) on :

You didn't tell me who you think would win, celia. And these things are CRITICAL to our survival as a species. I mean... what if crocs grew wings? We live in the nuclear age, celia, it can happen! [Wink]

Posted by Dagonee (Member # 5818) on :

Shark can't breathe in air. Croc has tail and claws as weapons.

Croc wins hands down. Unless the shark has "lasers."

Reguardless of who would win this absurd contest, the loser is clearly you.

Posted by Scott R (Member # 567) on :

I heard the Crocodile Guy say that if ever the two should meet, the shark would devour the croc in no time.

The only advantage a crocodile has is its thick skin-- which isn't really an advantage when fighting against a creature with the biting power of a shark.

Posted by T_Smith (Member # 3734) on :

Survival instincts say that those who stay alive, are NOT losers.

Wow, that should be... like a proverb or a quote or something.

Posted by Procrastination (Member # 4821) on :

Not that I'm biased, but the Flying Cow would definitely win.

and here i thought he was talking about these

flying croc flying shark

Posted by T_Smith (Member # 3734) on :

That's udder nonsense.

Ok, so it was lame and has been overly used. But I had to, OK?

Posted by Book (Member # 5500) on :

A shark with a jetpack is a lot like a missle or something, and the croc with wings is like an angel; and we all know that an angel is utterly defenseless against a missle, as many, many nursery times have explained. So the shark wins, cause he's like a bullet that bites.

I half remember some station, BBCA or Discovery or some such that was making Robot Versions of these critters and letting them battle it out.

Speaking of Flying Cows

Posted by BannaOj (Member # 3206) on :

Here's a much prettier flying shark .

And just for Icarus

Posted by Procrastination (Member # 4821) on :

Whoa... that's awesome. I gotta get me one of those to stick on my monitor... and when I come to hatrack, it can blow in the breeze of all that hot air.

I go with the flying shark. I think they have defied evolution for longer. Also, rays are related to sharks. They can, like, fly.

Posted by BannaOj (Member # 3206) on :

stick on your monitor? That thing is two feet long man!

Most windsocks like that you can use as a drogue tail on a heavy lifting kite though.

What about a The Cheat vs. A Bear holding a Shark?

I mean, The Cheat totally freaks out whenever he sees a bear holding a shark, so would they catch him, or die trying?

Posted by Dobbie (Member # 3881) on :

Did anyone see the "shark vs. croc" episode of

"Animal Face-off"?

Posted by Book (Member # 5500) on :

What about a Flying Croc vs. a hurricane.... But the hurricane.... is Hurricane... Ditka.

Posted by Teshi (Member # 5024) on :

My money is on the shark, because the teeth are far sharper, and the shark is more aerodynamic.

However, I am worried about the shark's breathing, so I am assuming the shark as also adapted to breathing in air (which would be a natural companion to wings)

Posted by Book (Member # 5500) on :

Doesn't it have arms? I guess it can have lungs, too, if it wants to.

At the Ditka comment.

DITKA!

Posted by BelladonnaOrchid (Member # 188) on :

I'm for flying croc, after all, he has the ability to claw, claw, bite, of which the flying shark does not have.

Posted by mr_porteiro_head (Member # 4644) on :

I'd go for the croc. They have a +10 racial modifier on all hide checks.

Posted by BelladonnaOrchid (Member # 188) on :

Right...right, that lowers their AC to about -5, doesn't it, Porteiro?

Posted by JohnKeats (Member # 1261) on :

First strike wins it, so air speed and manueverability are essential to answering the question.

The shark's teeth are much sharper than the crocs. The shark also probably has a much stronger bite, when it comes to PSI. However the croc isn't exactly a chew-friendly animal, wheras sharkflesh can be torn like tissue paper. Another advantage the croc has is vision. Not only can it see more clearly than the shark, it has a much wider degree of peripheral vision. The croc can see nearly 360 degrees around itself and the shark--depending on the type--has about half that range.

Posted by Dan_raven (Member # 3383) on :

Animal Face Off,

Thanks. I couldn't think of the name.

There is your grounded Shark vs Croc.

My vote must go for the Shark. If I Croc has yet to be able to kill Steve Irwin, how tuff can they be? I mean, Shark Hunters get into special cages. Croc Hunter just occasionally shoves his annoying wife between him and the Croc.

I believe Jack Handy said it best:

quote:
Contrary to what most people say, the most dangerous animal in the world is not the lion or the tiger or even the elephant. It's a shark riding on an elephant's back, just trampling and eating everything they see.

Posted by mr_porteiro_head (Member # 4644) on :

Dan_raven has a good point.

Bear holding a shark vs. shark riding an elephant?

Posted by mr_porteiro_head (Member # 4644) on :

Oh, I miss Jack Handey. There must be a list of his quots out there somewhere... *wipes tear*

Posted by Annie (Member # 295) on :

Google is your friend, Porter.

Posted by Annie (Member # 295) on :

Personally, though, I think the best contest would be the flying croc and the flying shark teamed up against the vast robot armies of a woman scorned.

Posted by saxon75 (Member # 4589) on :

No, no, what about a stadium full of flying sharks and crocs against a microscopically small Ditka?

Posted by Book (Member # 5500) on :

Ditka wins with time to spare.

Posted by narrativium (Member # 3230) on :

I want a recount!

Posted by T_Smith (Member # 3734) on :

In other words, the Croc won.

Posted by narrativium (Member # 3230) on :

NEVER!
