Found in tropical and temperate waters worldwide,
far offshore and near shorelines, is the hammerhead
shark, one of the nine largest sharks in the world,
(It can grow up to 6 meters, 20 feet) and one of the
most interesting looking sharks, the head of the shark
has its shape to give the shark a wider and better visual
range, that is extraordinarily better than most sharks. It
also has the purpose of holding its sensory organs, and its
wide head allows it to scan the ocean for food. one group
of the sensory organs is the ampullae of the lorenzini, that
allows the shark to sense electrical fields generated by
animals in the sharks vicinity. This system can allow the
shark to spot prey such as stingrays that move slowy throuh
the sand and occasionally bury themselves under it.
