Dolphins, being extremely social animals, are almost never territorial. However, there is one report of a dolphin off the shore of Italy, who was repeatedly aggressive in response to interaction with humans and other dolphins.
The territoriality of a shark depends on the species. Great whites and other hunting species have a tendency to be more territorial than herbivore species.
not usually. this is because both are teritorial. also sharks sometimes eat dolphins. so dolphins wouldn't want to live with them :)
Dolphins do usually have a territory but it is quite large and allows them to move freely throughout the sea.

Mom dolphins are known as cows. Baby dolphins are known as calves. They are highly social and playful aquatic mammals. There are 30-40 different breeds of dolphins.
Dolphins in the sea, and dogs on land. They are both very social animals, dolphins in particular.
Who said dolphins are not violent? Ask any shark that has been violently attacked by dolphins, sometimes for no reason apparent to a human observer. Moreover, dolphins are known to use aggression in their social interactions. Pods (group of dolphins) have a social hierarchy. This hierarchy is often determined by biting, clicking, etc. and also "raking" other dolphins, an action by which dolphins create lacerations into another dolphins skin using their teeth to assert their dominance. There are also been reports of male dolphins showing sexual behaviour that has been suggested to be rape (or gang rape) by scientists. Thus, it appears that dolphins do show aggressive behaviour, as do most wild animals.
They thrive in the company of other members of their species.
Dolphins are social creatures, living in a group (Pod) of up to 12.
Dolphins are social, living in pods of up to a dozen individuals. Individuals communicate using a variety of clicks, whistles and other vocalizations. They make ultrasonic sounds for echolocation.
