Best Answer

They are apex predators. The shark is so remarkably designed that it has changed little since the time of the dinosaurs. The speed, teeth, and acute senses make the shark almost without natural competitors in the wild, except for humans. They have been around so long because they are perfectly designed to live for a long time.
