A wildlife expert has stunned fans by filming a shark and crocodile calmly swimming together – with some joking the pair are in a “committed relationship”.
Aussie TV star Matt Wright, 47, regularly shares clips of dangerous animals with his 869,000 Instagram followers.
But his latest post, showing the unlikely duo gliding side by side instead of fighting, has racked up 5.6 million views and left viewers stunned, as reported by What’s The Jam.

In the footage, the croc and shark swim in close proximity before drifting off together in the same direction – looking more like companions than rivals.

Debs quipped: “They could be in a committed relationship, and we could see the birth of the sharkodile.”

Kevin summed it up: “MAD.”
Matt, from South Australia, is best known for fronting National Geographic’s Outback Wrangler and Netflix’s Wild Croc Territory.
Raised between Papua New Guinea and the Aussie outback, he’s built a career working with deadly animals and now runs luxury safaris and tourism ventures in the Northern Territory.
And while the croc and shark friendship might not last forever, his clip shows that even in the wild, unlikely love stories can appear where you least expect them.
