do dolphins eat sharks
Dolphin teeth are more for catching fish than for tearing apart large prey, as sharks' teeth are. And sharks have very tough skins--hard to tear. But dolphins have a hard rostrum--beak--that's perfect for ramming. Sharks can and do kill and eat dolphins, which are highly nutritious for a shark. Dolphins aren't equipped to eat sharks, however, except for Orcas, which while called a whale, are really the largest species of dolphin. For other dolphins, then, they have no reason to kill a shark for food--just for defense--and dolphins have been known to swim off when a shark attacks one member of a pod.
