Amazing footage captures tiger sharks and a giant saltwater crocodile eating huge humpback whale carcass in world first

STARTLING drone footage has captured the moment tiger sharks and a giant crocodile dine out on a huge whale carcass off the coast of Australia.

Wildlife experts at the National Geographic say it’s the first time the saltwater reptile has ever been seen feasting on any kind of whale.

A drone captured the predators eating side-by-side on the 50-foot humpback, which was spotted floating near a sandbar off Montgomery Reef, Kimberley.

It is also believed to be the first time the two species have been filmed together sharing any kind of meal.

Dr Austin Gallagher, of the campaign group Beneath the Waves, said he’s been studying sharks for more than a decade and has never seen anything quite like it.
