Hammerhead Shark

Hammerhead sharks are sharks with broad, flattened heads that extend to either side of the body. The shape spreads their sensory organs and eyes across a wider area. Different species feed on fish, rays, crustaceans and other marine animals. They occur mainly in warm and temperate seas, with some using coastal nurseries and others traveling offshore. Body size and head shape differ between species. Schools form in some settings, while individuals may forage separately at other times.
