Hammerhead Sharks

Hammerhead sharks have been spotted here locally.  They are easy to identify because of their odd-shaped head with their eyes way out on each side.  He can see farther than other sharks and his wide-set eyes help it to hunt his favorite dish…..the stingray.

The close-up portrait of this great fish kind of freaks me out.  However, the smooth dark profile swimming along is a graceful image to behold.

Fun Fact regarding reproduction:

Gestation periods last for approximately 12 months. The female can produce large litters between 12 and 38 pups. Hammerhead sharks are viviparous, which means the eggs hatch inside of the mother’s body and feed off the yolk sac placenta until they are born. (Natl. Marine Sanctuary Foundation)
