Hammerhead Shark

Transcript: Economic, Endangered, Bycatch The hammer on the hammerhead is used to pin down sting rays for an easier catch; this evolution has happened because of the way the sting ray has evolved. A grown hammerhead is smart enough to determine where fishing areas are; delinquent or baby hammerheads do not have this knowledge and are often caught. Also, if a hammerhead is migrating, it may not know where the fishing areas are and might get caught as well. Ampullae of Lorenzini is used to detect faint electrical disturbances in the water, which helps the shark find prey. The lateral line tells the shark if the water is being moved around, alerting the shark to predators or prey. The hammerhead is a "mix" between the bonnethead (left) and the winghead (bottom) shark. The head of the hammerhead is like a mix of these two sharks. Swift, Fearsome, Sizable, Predatory Head of a hammerhead is used for maneuvering in the water quickly. The size -- 6 feet or 2 meters -- of the shark makes it a scary looking animal. The hammerhead is an apex predator that searches for prey and fights with other species of shark. The selling of shark teeth and shark-fin soup supports economies. Unfortunately, the fishing and killing of a hammerhead has become illegal which damages some coastal communities, but saves the hammerhead population. The hammerhead has begun to thrive again, but the fishing of them is still illegal. Hammerheads are often caught as bycatch, which also lowers the populations. Hammerhead Shark Evolved and Intelligent Fun Fact Ampullae of Lorenzini Hearing of the shark helps the animal hear boat motors and such, which alerts the shark to any threat. The hammerhead in Finding Nemo is not correctly drawn. His eyes are facing forward, which is not correct. A hammerhead's eyes and nostrils are located on the sides of the head, giving the predator a complete 180 degree view and amazing sense of smell. The hammerhead in Nemo more closely resembles a winghead.

Transcript: A hammerhead shark has been found at depths as great as 80 meters. The shark can also be found in very shallow waters. Of the 10 known species of hammerhead, only three of them are known to be particularly dangerous to humans. beause of there hammer like head. yes they do eat eachother in the womb Shark finning refers to the removal and retention of shark fins and the discard at sea of the carcass. The shark is most often still alive when it is tossed back into the water. Unable to swim, the shark slowly sinks toward the bottom where it is eaten alive by other fish. it head looks like a hammer thats were it got its name clasp·er :a pair of appendages under the abdomen of a male shark or ray, or at the end of the abdomen of a male insect, used to hold the female during copulation. The hammerhead sharks are a group of sharks in the family Sphyrnidae, so named for the unusual and distinctive structure of their heads, which are flattened and laterally extended into a "hammer" shape called a "cephalofoil" the scientific name is Sphyrnidae ampullae of lorenzini are special sensing organs called electroreceptors, forming a network of jelly-filled pores they eat a large range of prey including fish, squid, octopus, crustaceans, and other sharks. Stingrays are a particular favorite. a clasper is a pair of appendages under the abdomen of a male shark or ray, or at the end of the abdomen of a male insect, used to hold the female during copulation. Basic facts The hammerhead shark gestation period is from 7 to 12 months It can grow up to 20 feet (6 meters) in length and weigh up to 1,000 pounds (450 kg), although smaller sizes are more common. Hammerhead sharks can survive between 20 and 30 years in the wild. no there not protected Hammer head shark by:Adrian
