A man in Australia has managed to capture a jaw-dropping moment a huge crocodile eats a shark.
The incredible photos of the encounter were captured by research scientist and photographer Mark Ziembicki, during a recent visit to the east coast of Australia.
In one photo, the crocodile can be seen closing in on the bull shark - its mouth wide open, ready to gobble up its prey.
The reptile was pictured in a second image with the shark upside down in between its jaws, unable to escape its fate.

Mark, from Queensland, said that the combination of recent opening of the St Lucia estuary and excessive rains that have hit Southeastern Australia has led to the species being washed downriver into saline coastal waters, leading to the unlikely meeting between the two apex predators.
He was able to capture the attack, which happened just 60 feet away from where he was standing, using a Canon 5D SLR camera with a 300mm lens

"While we were busy taking photos of another crocodile on the bank there was some commotion about one-hundred feet away. A local resident of the area who was also there, shouted there was a croc eating a shark. We turned to see the shark thrashing away in the crocodile's mouth," he was quoted as saying.
Crocodiles have the most powerful bite in the animal kingdom, with their bite exerting a force eight times greater than that of a great white shark.
