Sharks appeared long before the dinosaurs.

The first dinosaurs didn't appear until 230 million years ago. The sharks also outlasted the non-avian dinosaurs during the K-T extinction 65.5 million years ago, and they will probably continue to swim in the oceans for hundreds of millions of years to come.

Will sharks eat dinosaurs?

Honey, sharks and dinosaurs didn't exactly hang out at the local diner together. Sharks have been around for about 450 million years, while dinosaurs roamed the Earth around 230 million years ago. So, unless a shark has a time machine hidden in its fin, it's safe to say they never crossed paths for a meal.


Can sharks eat dinosaurs?

No, sharks and dinosaurs did not exist in the same time period. Sharks are a type of fish that have been around for millions of years, while dinosaurs lived on land during the Mesozoic Era, which ended around 66 million years ago. Therefore, it is not possible for sharks to have eaten dinosaurs.
