In movies, dolphins are usually the "better creatures" while sharks are the villains. But does this hold true in the real world?
If you are wondering if dolphins are sharks ever fight, yes, they do. Both sea animals inhabit the same part of the ocean "" same depth and same region. Sharks are perceived by many as a very aggressive predator, with sharp teeth that can bit through flesh and kill humans and big fishes within minutes. These mammals also have a sandpaper-like skin that does not easily get punctured. Dolphins, on the other hand, are very intelligent and playful animals. They use their single row of teeth to catch their preys. Unlike sharks, dolphins have very soft skin that may be cut easily. During shark attacks, dolphins protect the injured members of their team. These mammals have also been known to save people and carry the back to the shore during shark attacks.
Sharks and dolphins may be as large as each other but they are so different in so many ways. Sharks come from the ancient or of fish. They have a skeleton. On the other hand, dolphins are descendants of mammals and also has skeleton. The skeleton of a dolphin is more flexible than that of the shark. Because of this, dolphins can swim and move swifter than sharks. Their tails also differ from each other. Sharks have fins that move from side to side. These fins limit their ability to swim quickly towards the bottom of the ocean or towards the surface. Dolphin"s tails have horizontal flukes. These flukes move up and down. They allow the dolphin to change directions quickly.
Dolphins usually swim in groups. In case a group member is attacked by a shark, the other members will work together to serve the other dolphin from the attack. Dolphins use their snout during fights. It is made of a thick and strong bone. They attack the shark by forming a circle around him. This causes the shark to get confused and he fails to chase any of the dolphins.
Dolphins are sharks may be different in so many ways but they remain to be two of the most popular creatures of the sea.
