2. reproduction
Hammerhead Sharks are viviparous, meaning they
give live birth. Females usually give birth to 12 to 15
pups at a time, but the Great hammerhead
shark gives birth to around 20 to 40 pups at a time.
Once they are born, baby Hammerhead sharks come
together in groups and swim towards warmer waters.
They stay together in groups until they are older and
big enough to live on their own. Hammerhead shark
live for around 20 to 30 years.

3. information
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". Many
functions have been proposed for
the “hammer”, including sensory
reception, maneuvering, and prey
manipulation.

4. description
The known species range from 0.9 to 6 m in length
and weigh from 3 to 580 kg. They are usually light
gray and have a greenish tint. Their bellies are
white which allows them to blend into the ocean
when viewed from the bottom and sneak up on
their prey. Their heads have lateral projections
which give them a hammer-like shape. They swim
to warmer climates in groups of 500 sharks.
