Hammerhead Shark

The Hammerhead Shark can be find worldwide in warmer waters along coastlines and continental shelves. Its name was gives because of its unusual and distinctive shape of its head that is similar to a flat hammer. They have a visual field of 360 degrees because their eyes are located on the end of the lateral part of the head, but they can't see in front of their nose.
In the day time the Hammerhead shark lives in groups of 10-20 sharks, but when night comes they hunt alone.
Thanks to their ability to detect electronical signals emitted by living creatures, they can easily find its prey even in murky water.
In Native Hawaiian culture the Hammerhead shark is considered one of the most respected sharks of the Ocean. It is also considered the birth animal of some children and whoever is born under the Hammerhead shark as an animal sign is believed to be a warrior who is meant to sail the oceans.
The big majority of the hammerhead population is stable but there are some species that are considered in danger of extinction (The Great Hsmmerhead and Scalloped Hammerhead) and "vulnerable" (Golden Hammerhead and Smooth Hammerhead) according to IUCN.
