Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Sharks have no qualms about consuming their relatives, as larger sharks will consume other species as well. All of them are carnivores, which means that they will only eat other animals as their nourishment. Most sharks enjoy a balanced diet of dolphins, seals, turtles, and even seagulls.
Detailed explanation-2: -Some carnivores, called obligate carnivores, depend only on meat for survival. Their bodies cannot digest plants properly. Plants do not provide enough nutrients for obligate carnivores.
Detailed explanation-3: -shark species are large carnivores, but only a very few species are considered to be at the top of the food web (and even then, only in a particular ecosystem or setting).
