Sharks aren't really afraid of dolphins; that's a common misconception that has led people to believe that when dolphins are present in an area, there will not be any sharks nearby. In fact, many species of shark and dolphin actually hunt and eat the same prey items, so the presence of dolphins often indicates the presence of sharks as well.

Dolphins and sharks are two ocean predators who have to compete for food and territory. They usually co-exist quite peacefully as part of a complex ocean eco-system, but occasionally they do attack and sometimes kill each other under various circumstances.

So its basicly that dolpinhs can kick sharks butt easily but if the sharks is bigger, bye bye dolphin.

Yes sharks are afraid of dolphins. Nobody probbably knows why but that is why it is a good idea to had a dolphin friend with your when your swimming in the sea or just go and swim with them if you know they are there. Because if sharks are in the sea then dolphins will protect you because dolphins are so intelligent and friendly to people :)(thats why they are so popular!)

So, If your in the sea with sharks.... find a dolphin!!!

Thanks for reading!!!!

The dolphins work as a team and attack the shark breaking its spine with appropriate hits.

If the two are fighting, a whale may kill a dolphin. They may kill it for food. There have been instances where a dolphin has killed a shark as well.
