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.
