Why do sharks choose to retreat when faced with dolphins?

If humans are the dominant ones on land, then sharks are the overlords of the oceans. Sharks have sharp teeth in the human eye, are incredibly lethal, and have one of the best hunting abilities, and once they lock onto their target, they can tear them apart in an instant, and all sea creatures will shy away when they see sharks. It is understood that sharks have a long history in the ocean, due to the impact of the environment, the changes of the times, the species of sharks are becoming fewer and fewer, but its appearance has not changed substantially.

The condition of sharks in the ocean.

Sharks are quite adaptable to the environment, and it is not surprising that humans look like small fish and shrimp in their eyes. When watching many movies, you will always see the great white shark in the ocean, its agile body and extremely lethal power, which make people deeply frightened. If you are not careful, you will be swallowed by a great white shark, and fishermen who are fishing will be careful.

Why do sharks avoid dolphins when they are confronted with them? This situation is really hard to swallow!

In fact, sharks do not regard humans as their food, but many of the postures of humans when surfing the sea are very similar to seals, sea lions and other creatures, and they regard humans as their food. That's why it launched a ferocious attack on humans, and when it smelled blood, it was like instantly beating chicken blood, and its lethality increased dramatically. When scientists took a closer look at sharks, they found a particularly strange phenomenon, dolphins, which are also marine creatures, and sharks do not actively attack them.

Why don't sharks actively attack dolphins?

If dolphins are certainly inferior to sharks in terms of lethality, then why do sharks rarely attack dolphins? Many people have been to the aquarium, and the dolphins in the aquarium are extremely interesting, not only will they interact with humans friendly, but they will also smile, and they can even save people, and they have to praise the intelligence of the dolphins. According to relevant research reports, an adult dolphin intelligence has reached the age of 6 or 10 years of a child, and the reason why sharks do not eat dolphins is not because of how smart it is, but because dolphins do not belong to oleoanimals, and sharks will show their skills when facing oleoanimals.

Dolphin meat isn't that tasty either, so sharks usually ignore it outright. In addition, there is a big reason, dolphins are mostly in groups, and sharks like to be alone, the power of unity is strong, if the shark rashly attacks them, it is not pleasing at all, some are weak, dolphins can also use ultrasound in exchange for information, which is not possible for sharks.

In general, sharks have the skills of sharks, and dolphins also have the advantages of dolphins, and they do not interfere with each other. The shark will not do such a thankless task at all, it will only catch some creatures that are weaker than itself. However, scientists have discovered that there is a creature that can swallow a dolphin in one bite, and it is the bull shark, in front of which the dolphin is not worth mentioning at all.

Because dolphins can emit ultrasound, and sharks hate this sound so much that they choose to retreat.

Because the gains outweigh the losses. Sharks are mainly there to hunt, whereas dolphins have very little edible meat. So sharks don't want to eat it.

Dolphins are not oleoanimals and do not fit the taste of sharks; Dolphins have intelligent minds and will use their own methods. Keep sharks out of the way.

Why are sharks afraid of dolphins?

Sharks tend to be solitary, while dolphins live in groups. The dolphin's most powerful ** is its beak, which can break the internal organs of sharks with special bones and die when poked at high speed, while fierce cetaceans such as killer whales are not too afraid of dolphins due to their hard bones.

Dolphins like to fight in groups, even if the shark has the advantage of size, but with more than a dozen, it will also be at a disadvantage, and the dolphins will cooperate with each other when fighting, making it difficult for the shark to parry at all. Therefore, sharks encounter dolphins to find abuse.

The shark is a strong one, but one of its Achilles' heels is the "poor physique" - cartilaginous fish. At the same time, sharks often "act unilaterally" or in groups of smaller partners. So if you encounter dolphins living in groups, although the dolphins are less powerful individually, but the dolphins beat the sharks in groups through high-IQ teamwork, then their weak bodies are not able to withstand the dolphins' violent "kiss strikes".

Killer whales and dolphins belong to the same family of dolphins, and killer whales, although they have "whales" in their names, are actually members of the dolphin family. And killer whales not only have the high intelligence of the dolphin family, but also have a huge physique. Therefore, the smart killer whale can be regarded as a famous name for the dolphin family!

Dolphins move in groups. They have a very high IQ and are highly socialized, using terrain, tools, formations, and everything else they can to their advantage in battle. The shark, on the other hand, is a lone ranger, and his brain is not good.

If you compare a shark to an adult tiger, then the dolphin is a group of juvenile (smaller) lions with a super high IQ.

Although the shark looks more ferocious than the dolphin, its body structure is mostly made up of cartilage, so it is just a paper tiger and has no attack power.

Those small sharks weighing only a few hundred kilograms can't withstand the fatal blow of killer whales, and sharks belong to ancient cartilaginous fishes, except for teeth, the bones are more fragile than bony fish, not to mention killer whales such a strong animal. Even if it's a small dolphin, if you hit it hard, it can't stand it.

Because sharks provoke dolphins, they will be beaten by fish sellers (funny).

The high intelligence of dolphins makes us realize that sharks are fierce and powerful, and their skeletal structure is easily attacked by dominant dolphins.

The high intelligence of dolphins is not only reflected in the various performances of the aquarium, but also in all aspects of their survival. Those who like to watch CCTV9 documentaries must have enjoyed the wonderful pictures of dolphins tracking the sand, surrounding, driving away and attacking sardines. **, blisters, sonar, shallow waters, etc., are all used by dolphins to find and push food into a desperate situation in the vast sea.

Because most of the skeleton of the shark's body is made of cartilage.

In fact, the reason why they are afraid of dolphins is mainly that dolphins, which are social animals, and they will launch group attacks.

You've been pushed to the lungs, aren't you afraid? It's okay to have a top, but the key is to top your lungs with a group! The shark is bitter in his heart!

Killer whales are much larger than sharks in size, and their natural strength is much greater, and killer whales have also inherited the fine tradition of the dolphin family, living in groups, with high intelligence and high socialization. Sharks can't even kill a killer whale, and this time a group of them has come down, is it okay to consider surrendering. So, sharks have always been a daily recipe for killer whales.

Dolphins are in groups, and most of the sharks are larger.

You know, there are more than 40 species of dolphins on the planet, the largest and most ferocious are killer whales, which are usually 8-10 meters long and weigh about 9 tons; The more common ones we see in aquariums are bottlenose dolphins and white dolphins, which are about a meter long and weigh 50,7000 kilograms, and most dolphins are of this shape. There are about 380 species of sharks in the world, and 30 of them will actively attack people, which is dangerous. Among them, the whale shark is the largest shark in existence.

The most ferocious shark in the ocean is the great white shark, which can reach meters in length and weighs 3,200 kilograms. Their powerful jaws can shred almost any prey, and their combat power is on par with that of killer whales.

First of all, I don't agree with the point of view on the topic because I think the question is a bit broad. Sharks are much less aggressive than great white sharks and tiger sharks because of their different body sizes and habits, while most dolphins have higher IQs, but they can still run more, or the dolphins that are the weaker side have been eaten by sharks to extinction, so why don't sharks eat dolphins? This question cannot be generalized, do not fight or do not like to eat?

Here I can safely say that not exactly. There are a lot of factors behind this. I would like to correct two erroneous views.

For example, the bottlenose dolphin that we often see, to some extent, has gone too far, killing sharks through techniques such as ultrasound, which is human wishful thinking, because the relationship between humans and dolphins is much more harmonious than that of sharks, which are dangerous animals, so it is inevitable to over-deify the dolphin's ability to survive. In fact, in the wild, when their own kind is killed by sharks, the animal's instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm often does not make them unite to deal with sharks, even if we encounter sharks in the sea, they will panic and flee for their lives, not to mention that dolphins are not as intelligent as us. If we use more familiar land animals as a guide, sharks are more like tigers and dolphins are more like wolves, but that's not to say that dolphins don't have power.

They are also carnivores, just not as powerful as sharks. For example, marine researchers, accidentally encountered a tiger shark attacking dolphins, and killed it, the tiger shark may not have heard of most people, it also has a more domineering name - tiger shark, which knows that this is not simple, it is the second largest in the family of jade great white shark ferocious predator. Tiger sharks are excellent top hunters, up to 740 cm in length, when attacking their prey they keep repeating their attacks until they kill their prey, so they use extremely cruel methods, so this is a species that kills all kinds of marine fish, mammals and birds, and is extremely fond of shark fins, so it is common for them to attack and eat dolphins.

This is because the toxicity of dolphins is relatively large, although sharks want to eat dolphins, but dolphins will swell their size to 2 or 3 times that sharks are unable to start, and sharks are in the water. The speed of turning is far less than that of dolphins, so it is impossible to catch dolphins.

Every creature survives in the ocean and has its own favorite animal, and sharks have a hard time catching dolphins, and it takes 10 or even 100 times more effort to catch other prey to catch dolphins of the same energy.

Because dolphins are relatively intelligent sea creatures, with an IQ equivalent to that of a 6-year-old child, and they are social animals that will concentrate on attacking sharks when they encounter them.

It is because sharks have a hard time preying on dolphins, and it takes a lot of effort to catch them, and they lose too much energy, and the gains outweigh the losses.

The first reason is that dolphins have a powerful sonar system that can interfere with the brain and nervous system of other marine animals, causing sharks to lose their combat effectiveness for a short time.

The second reason is that dolphins mostly live in groups and will organize together to hit sharks, and the shark's internal organs will be damaged.

The third reason is that dolphins are very flexible, more sensitive, and swim faster.

Reasons why dolphins are not afraid of sharks:The reason why dolphins are not afraid of sharks is because they are on the smaller side and are much more agile than sharks.

And dolphins are almost always in groups, and there is never a single individual, so dolphins are able to unite to attack sharks. The body of the shark is softer, while the prejaw of the dolphin is harder, and when the dolphin attacks the shark, the shark is completely unable to withstand the violent impact of the dolphin.

Reasons why dolphins don't attack humans:Dolphins do not attack people because dolphins have a relatively high IQ. Dolphins know that humans are playing with them and don't hurt them, so dolphins are always very friendly to humans.

And dolphins have always eaten some of the fish in the ocean, and these fish taste completely different from humans. Therefore, they are accustomed to eating fish, and they are also more sensitive to the taste of fish.

In addition, although the teeth of dolphins are very sharp, they are relatively short, and if you bite human flesh, it will be particularly laborious. Some experts once said that in the eyes of dolphins, human nature is a relatively cute species.
