VIDEO: Giant crocodile head washes up on beach

It’s thought the huge animal may have been killed by an (even bigger?) shark.

A HUGE CROCODILE head has been found washed up on a beach in South Africa, with the rest of its body nowhere to be found.

It’s not clear how the crocodile was killed, although there is speculation it may have been a shark.

The head was discovered by husband and wife Neale and Brigitte Cary-Smith, who were walking on the beach near their home at St Lucia, north of Durban.

They filmed the discovery. On the video, Neale can be heard speculating that a large shark killed the animal, which he estimates was 3.5 metres long when alive.
