Convergent evolution. Dolphins and sharks are not closely related, but share many features. They both have dorsal fins and streamlined bodies which provide stability and good hydrodynamics. Many species have grey skin and countershaded markings, making them more difficult to see when lit from above. Moreover, dolphins have sonar and many sharks have well-developed electrical senses to facilitate finding prey in murky water.
