Hammerheads have been witnessed pinning prey like rays down with its hammer and biting it with their sharp, serrated teeth. The Hammerhead Shark is even prepared to eat others of its kind, earning its reputation as a cannibal. Hammerheads tend to stick to the ocean floor, sometimes hunting in large packs of over sharks during the daylight hours. However, at night, they hunt alone. Hammerhead Sharks are found in all the temperate and tropical oceans of the world, favouring shallower areas like coastlines and continental shelves.

Hammerheads average approximately 3. The size depends on the species of Hammerhead, of which there are nine. The highest threat for hammerhead sharks is over fishing. Its vertebrae display a rather different structure to those of other sharks, and it is believed that this plays a major role in these sharks abilities to manoeuvre as quickly and accurately as they do. The hammer shape of the head provides extra lift, making these sharks some of the most buoyant alive. Their eyes are positioned far apart, allowing for a degree view of their surroundings, as are their nostrils, increasing their range of smell.

The avarage lifespan of a Hammerhead Shark is 20 — 30 years. Their extra-tall, pointed dorsal fins are easily identifiable. Most hammerhead species are fairly small and are considered harmless to humans. However, the great hammerhead's enormous size and fierceness make it potentially dangerous, though few attacks have been recorded. All rights reserved. Common Name: Hammerhead sharks.
