Will the hammerhead shark eat people?

Answer 1

Yes, hammerhead sharks can attack humans. According to Shark week (Discovery Channel) in the last year there have been 33 attacks by hammerheads. None of these were fatal. There are 9 different species of hammerhead sharks.
Sometimes, yes. But very rarely. There are fewer than 15 reported cases of unprovoked attacks on humans.
According to my son's shark book, they are very aggressive and attack humans easily.


According to wikipedia:

"Of the nine known species of hammerhead, three can be dangerous to humans: the scalloped, great, and smooth hammerheads."

According to Buzzle.com:

"Are Hammerhead Sharks really as dangerous as they sound?
Well, although sharks have always been associated with being aggressive and dangerous to encounter in the sea, no shark would bite a human for no reason and most Hammerheads are small in size. Such are considered harmless to humans. Well, as long as you don't get into their bad books by provoking them! When caught by fishermen, they are generally released back into the wild."

The three species are the great, the scalloped and the smooth hammerhead. However divers frequently free dive in open water with these species and levels of incidents are incredibly low in relative comparison to the high levels of interaction. These sharks generally do not attck unless provoked, in fact there have only been 12 reported cases of an unprovoked Hammerhead shark attacks on humans. Hammerheads will often warn you with threatening postures before attacking.
