Sharks are fish and are therefore "cold blooded", whereas dolphins are mammals and are "warm blooded". The terms warm and cold blooded are misnomers however; "cold blooded" animals often have blood and body temperatures at least as high as that of a mammal or bird. The only difference is that warm blooded animals have the ability to control their body (and therefore blood) temperature by varying the rate of their metabolism; "cold blooded" animals must rely on using the enivronment e.g. the the morning sun to increase or decrease their body temperature.
