No warm blooded animals can eat Greenland sharks because their flesh is highly poisonous to warm blooded animals. Eating even a small amount can cause paralysis. That said, their main predators are humans, who hunt them for their livers, which can be used as durable machine lubricant.

The Goblin Shark is likely to be an apex predator in it's deep water environment. This species of shark grows to 12 feet in length, and lives in very deep water in most temperate and tropical seas around the world. This shark is most often caught off Japan, Portugal(eastern Atlantic), eastern Australia, New Zealand and the Indo-Pacific region. It's likely nothing preys on it, though it would share it's habitat with the likes of Giant Squid or other shark species of a larger size(Sixgills and Sleeper sharks grow larger) - however Goblin Sharks being predated by them is probably not the case.

Humans eat Mako sharks, as they are one of the best tasting sharks on the menu. I suspect smaller Mako sharks are taken by other larger predators.

People eat them. Great Whites and other large predators are also a danger.
