How do big and slow animals survive in open water when it seemed easy for a shark to just take a bite?

When I would be a shark and came across a whale, no matter its size, I would bite off its fins and start eating. Same with a big ray. How do those animals survive so long anyway?

It’s the same concept with elephants and say, hyenas. Yes they can peck at it and slowly chip away, but a swing from an elephant means a crushed skull and a dead hyena. Their massive size is their defense/offense. Imagine a truck-sized bread of loaf. Yes you can poke at it and slowly eat it, but if someone throws the entire truck-sized loaf at you, you’d seriously get injured just from the weight alone.
