Yes. Using a system known as 'Ampullae of Lorenzini' they can detect flex of muscles of nearby prey. This system is common to all sharks.
i don't know
yes they can. they can sense a high heart rate wich means panic. your heart rate goes up when you panic or you are scared. they sense this with their 6th sense. It is called the ampullae (am-pu-lie) of Lorenzini. Little pours on their nose that detect electric impulses in the water made but hearts and movement. it then travels through jelly-like pours into the nerves and to the brain. then they follow it so... YES THEY CAN SENSE FEAR!!!!yeah i know all that and I'm 11. wow not lying here. AT ALL!
Bioelectromagnetism is an aspect of all living things, including all plants and animals. Some animals have acute bioelectric sensors, and others, such as migratory birds, are believed to navigate in part by orienteering with respect to the Earth's magnetic field. Also, sharks are more sensitive to local interaction in electromagnetic fields than most humans.
Some research suggests that a shark's sense of taste may be its weakest, as they primarily rely on other senses like vision, smell, and electrical sensors called ampullae of Lorenzini to locate prey.
Some animals, like birds and whales, are known to possess natural radar-like abilities that allow them to navigate long distances using Earth's magnetic fields and celestial cues. This innate sense of direction helps them find food sources, mating grounds, and migration routes with remarkable accuracy.
the sharks sixth sense is to feel electromagnetic pulses in the water using its "lateral line".
Yes, they do. They have little gel polyps inside them that help them detect small electromagnetic fields made by the moving of their preys muscles. Sharks are killing machines equipted with all the weapons they need. When they bite down there eyes roll back in to their heads to prevent scratches from their thrashing prey. (did you know they have a Y shaped brain) -Just to let you know im a twelve year old girl! O~O how didn't you know all that stuff!?!?!
Sharks have an impressive ability to navigate and locate their prey over vast distances using their keen sense of smell, hearing, and electromagnetic fields. While they may occasionally stray from their intended path, they are not known to get "lost" in the same way that humans might.
Electromagnetic radiation is common in living organisms. One example is infrared radiation (heat) given off by warm bodies. And we know that critters like sharks can sense magnetic fields generated electromagnetically by other critters they are searching for.
A hammerheads head is pretty much a massive sensory tool. Sharks detect electromagnetic fields all living creatures let off using a sense called electroreception. The hammerhead has an updated version of this you could say. With its wider head it has a greater range of electrorecption nerves, so when it is seen swimming along the bottom it is really picking up electromagnetic Fields from prey items as small as a sand crab. Also all sharks can pick the field emitted from the earth itself and use it to navigate.
Sharks use their keen sense of smell to detect blood in the water, even in very small concentrations. They also rely on their vision and electroreception, which allows them to detect the electrical fields generated by prey animals. Sharks are opportunistic feeders and will search for food using a combination of these sensory abilities.
The ampullae of Lorenzini detect electrical fields generated by other animals, helping sharks locate prey and navigate in their environment.
yes
There are nine species of hammerhead sharks. The great hammerhead (Sphyrna mokerran) is the largest of them all. Stingrays heads are equipped with electromagnetic sensors and they have a great sense of smell. The hammerheads usually are fond on stingray meat.

Sharks, unlike humans have only 5 systems. They have hearing, smell, taste and touch. In addition they can detect weak electric fields in the water. Some of these sense are more accurate in sharks than in humans. their smell organ is more developed than humans.
Sharks longest sense is blood
a lateral line is used for collecting electromagnetic pulses in the water. it stretches from the sharks head to tail, and is filled with water. there are also tiny hairs growing inside the lateral line. these hairs pick up vibrations sent from the electromagnetic pulses. this is one way sharks find food.
