Depends on the shark... some of the bigger ones are definitely able to eat dolphins...

Killed? Maybe, who knows. Dolphins will protect their pod from sharks, sometimes violently. They have been known to protect humans from sharks too. And it would not surprise me if Dolphins preyed on smaller sharks.

Dolphins have killed a number of sharks, including great whites. Usually more of them in a group than the GW, hence why they can get to them, hit them from all sides. I am sure a GW would win if a one on one occured.

Then again, Orca's get the best of sharks too! It i fun seeing the Dahl porpose around the sound frolicking about, along with local orca's.
