Fin-To-Fin Combat | Bull Shark Vs Hammerhead
Join tenured shark scientists as they dive deep into the ocean to gain a front row seat to one of the fiercest face-offs in the wild… bull shark versus hammerhead. The bull shark arrives to fight with strength in numbers but the hammerhead female is 13 foot long! Will size conquer all? Or will the bull sharks overpower the single hammerhead.

It's a 13-foot female.
Now, it's a three-on-three showdown between bull sharks
and hammerheads.
The imposing shark works her way to the center of the group.
She's about the same size as the hammerhead
attacked in Boca Grande Pass.
That's insane.
But this super predator brings a completely different power
dynamic to the face-off.
It felt as though she was running the show.
She was making much closer passes to us
than the other sharks were, perhaps
because she feels far less threatened
by us as potential predators.
The bull sharks circle, sizing her up.
The hammerhead makes quick turns, possibly
bracing for a three-on-one fight.
The bull sharks take turns coming in, closer and closer.
The 13-foot great hammerhead stands her ground.
The bull flinches first.
As the hammerhead approaches, the bull
gets a sense of her true size.
And retreats.
Things underwater kind of changed.
The dynamic changed a bit.
So it was really cool to see that she kind of made
everybody else clear out a little bit.
