There aren't many shots of Salt Water Crocs doing anything, because they don't do that much. You get a few shots with a small shark in their mouths, but not that much else. I actually think the Nile and African crocodiles are harder than the Salt Water because they have so much else to deal...
If he beat up Tyson Fury though, like a Wolverine takes on a bear, then you'd have to accept he is hard. The Wolverine takes on and DEFEATS bears much bigger than itself. I think you are missing that point in your analogies thus far.
If a polar bear lost a limb it would bleed to death, and it didn't survive a meteorite hit either....but is rested so creatures like these can have a day of glory. So meaningless point really.
It eats small sharks that swim a bit too close to shore, or get disorientated in river estuaries. The idea that these crocs are swimming out and attacking big sharks is fanciful, it's just a smallish fish to a SWC. Nothing hard in eating fish for dinner...
That analogy couldn't be further from the truth. The Salt Water Crocodile is known for it's lethargy, it can go months without eating and lies about doing nothing, in fact many are known to have barnacles on their scales as they move so little. The Croc is like an obese bloke who's biggest...
This competition would be DULL without being able to delve beyond just physical attributes and into the underlying psyche of a creature. Each to their own I agree, but anyone who votes on 'that creature would beat that one', well, they deserve nothing but derision for their reductive voting.
Wolverine.
He doesn't look that hard, doesn't have all the tools, all the gear, but will still savage a bear twice its size.
Sorry, Croc is hard, but he ain't batshitmentalhard.
