One of Australia's longest running native title fights has ended with the formal return of land rights to traditional owners in the Kakadu Northern Territory township of Jabiru.
 It was pretty shocking we didn t even know there were sharks there, so to see a shark being eaten by a croc was a lot, Ms Wilson said. Mr Elmas said a smaller croc surfaced with the shark before larger ones ripped the shark from the jaws of the saltie. It was a bit of a frenzy, initially I didn t think it was a shark and thought it was a barra, Mr Elmas said. It looked like the small one grabbed it and that brought in four or five other crocs and the larger one grabbed it.  A saltie at Cahills Crossing chowed down on a river shark, putting on a show for Kai Elmas and Indya Wilson.
