Why do dolphins and sharks always trying to kill each other?

Both Dolphins and Sharks are predatory animals. They often hunt and breed in areas accessible to one another. The acts of violence toward each species can simply be due to the fact that each may be competing for hunting territory, to protection of offspring. Sharks do attack dolphins, even the related Orca(killer whale) as prey, so dolphins will attack sharks for purpose of protection. There have been recorded incidents of dolphins "protecting" human swimmers from shark attacks( by attacking sharks or swimming around humans to drive sharks away) but it is probably because dolphins don't see humans as threats, and have an instinctive emnity toward sharks.
