People are afraid of sharks, because sharks don't mind eating a human being. We got used to thinking that it's better not to mess with a shark. Could you believe if we say that dolphins are a serious enemy to sharks? Find the answer in this article!
A shark is one of the most ancient creatures of the ocean. Its anatomy gives an impression that it was made for killing. Look at these sharp teeth!
Though sharks are professional murderers, they try to avoid meeting dolphins. Once they see dolphins they try to get away.
Let's compare sharks and dolphins. Obviously, a shark is more dangerous than a dolphin. However sharks have a peculiarity: they prefer hunting alone while dolphins mostly have a company. Thus a good company of dolphins is stronger than a shark.
Sharks usually attack stray dolphins. They rarely succeed - if dolphins notice aggression from a shark, it won't get away with it. Dolphins encircle a shark and hit it.
By the way, there were numerous cases when dolphins saved people from a shark attack.
In this video you can see dolphins driving a hammer shark away from the diver.

Been there! Dolphins are definitely the good guys. Why they seem to like us is a real mystery, but apparently they do, or at least tolerate us. .

That is an amazing story. We never give animals the credit they deserve. I’ve heard stories of dolphins helping people before

There is a theory that people tend to romanticize dolphins. But in reality these creatures are highly intelligent and mostly curious - does not mean friendly. They may help people in distress to get to the land, but they may as well push people into opposite directions. There are real life stories to support both. Dolphins are wild animals and they have their own agenda. Anyways it is safer to meet a dolphin than a shark :D

I love dolphins and had the great enjoyment of swimming with them one day

Dolphins are mammals...we're mammals. I believe they think we're "fun." Sharks are fish...'nuff said.

Swam with a dolphin in Mexico. So beautiful and graceful. I have seen them in the wild. Like most wild animals they need to be treated with respect.

The largest dolphin just happens to be the Orca or Killer Whale that has no equal among even the most dangerous sharks. Orca's also swim packs and always have numericalN ADVANTAGE BESIDES BEING EXTREMELY INTELLIGENT AND CAN WEIGH IN AT 7-8 TONS AND CAN BE THIIRTY FEET LONG.

Dolphins are smarter, they circle the bait fish or school of larger fish and one at a time swims thru the mess and grabs all he can. Then the next. The circling starts in a big circle and gets smaller.
