Able to scent blood from remarkable distances, sharks often arrive at the scenes of naval battles or conflicts with large sea monsters where blood spills into the water, seeking an easy meal.&nbsp; &nbsp; Top Predators: Sharks are generally just as willing to eat another shark as they are a human or dolphin. If a creature dies in a conflict with sharks, its surviving companions might be able to escape while the sharks devour their unfortunate friend.
