They don't. Their relationship is commensalistic for the remora not symbiotic.

Can a shark eat a whale shark Are sharks cannibals?

Sharks can not eat whale sharks as whale sharks are proportionally bigger than sharks. Sharks may scavenge off dead whale sharks but the probability of live whale sharks being eaten is highly unlikely. Some species of shark are cannibals and babies will often eat each other while inside the womb.______________________________________________________________________________Just a short note to remind whale sharks (Rhincodon typus) were contemporaneous with C. Megalodon, and in the same waters.That contributed for the whale shark to be included in the megalodon's menu although they have been extinct for millions of years.

Does the whale shark have enemies?

Orcas. Once, a shark was drawn by the smell of blood to a dead seal. The seal had been killed by an orca. When the orca saw the shark, it attacked it. It caught the shark in its jaws, and within seconds the shark was dead. Soon after the incident, all sharks in the surrounding area disappeared! However, sharks and orcas usually avoid each other.


Will sharks attack each other?

Depends. There are predatory sharks like the Great White, Tiger, and Bull Sharks which actively hunt and eat other varieties of shark. There are other species which will not actively hunt other species of sharks, but will feed on an already dead shark. However, there are sharks, like the Whale Shark which do not consume shark meat in any form, because their diet is entirely different.
