Depends if they are vegetarianor not.
While no species includes its own species as part of its own food chain, shark are frequently known to eat each other. This may happen almost accidentally, as part of a feeding frenzy, and it also certainly happens over territorial disputes among benthic sharks. Sharks also attack and eat those of their species which are sick or weak. There are even records of shark in the womb attacking their birthmates.
Sharks (like the great white, mako, tiger, and hammerhead) are swift predators that eat fish, squid, other sharks, and marine mammals Occasionally, a group of sharks will attack a food source (for example, a school of fish) in a maniacal fashion. They will wildly attack the food and anything in the area, even each other, sometimes wounding or eating fellow sharks Mother grey nurse sharks do not feed their babies in utero because there is no umbilical cord connecting the two. So, to survive, the growing babies eat their younger siblings until there's only one pup left in each of the mother's two uteri. "It's inter-uterine cannibalism,"
some kinds of sharks it there babys if there hungry
Sometimes. Not all types of sharks do, but during a feeding frenzy this could happen, and some bigger sharks like bull sharks and great white sharks prey on smaller sharks.
