Animal face-off-shark vs crocodile was dominating the shark but then the shark started to dominate the croc because he gave a fatel hit to the side.

I think the crocodile would dominate cause they give more damage with their strong jaws and strong muscles in the jaw.

Well I don't think the crocodile can go in the salty ocean water. I don't really know because they left us in limbo. I don't think the same shark was fighting after the croc ate his nose. It looked like he died. And then it looked like a friend helped him out.
