Bottlenose Dolphins are predators but they are not quite apex predators. Some large shark species, such as the tiger shark, the dusky shark, the great white shark and the bull shark, prey on the bottlenose dolphin - especially unprotected calves.. Killer Whales have also been observed eating bottlenose dolphins.
