Dolphins are not part of the food chain because they do not have a lot of predators. The only predators that dolphins have are human and sharks. They are usually in groups so sharks do not try to attack them but, humans catch thousands of dolphins in a year but, dolphins are not endangered.

Different species of Dolphin get food using different methods. For example, many dolphin species hunt for food in packs in a structured formation in order to get enough food. The bottle-nose dolphin selects one dolphin to circle a shoal of fish and force them towards the other dolphins to feed. The dolphin carrying out this task actually gets no food. However, this formation always swaps so each dolphin in the pack never goes hungry.

Some big whales such as the blue whale and the Orca are predetors of the dolphins. Very rarely do sharks eat dolphins because most sharks are not much bigger than dolphins.
