Similarities between sharks and dolphins
While sharks and dolphins are certainly very different creatures, they share some things in common. First of all, they both live in water and are vertebrates.
Both are vertebrates meaning they both have backbones. In addition, they both have dorsal fins and side fins. Just like sharks, dolphins eat fish. They also swallow their food whole and don't chew. Sharks and dolphins usually co-exist peacefully, but occasionally they attack and sometimes kill each other that have to compete for food. In the same way, they don’t sleep all their life. Likewise, they also have a 6th sense, dolphins use echolocation to find food and sharks use electroreception. Although sharks and dolphins are completely different species, they still resemble in few ways.
