Hammerheads usually mate once a year and this happens when the male shark bites the female violently until she agrees to mate with him. After fertilization and gestation, the female gives birth to around 12 to 15 pups. The Great Hammerhead which is much larger than other species gives birth to litters of around 20 to 40 pups. Hammerheads do not raise their young. The young swim off immediately after birth and stay away from elders who might kill & consume them. The baby sharks huddle together and swim towards warmer & shallow waters and stay together until they are old enough to defend themselves.

There are nine species of hammerhead sharks. They are found in oceans all over the world. The hammerhead is easily identified by its distinctively shaped head, which allows it to hunt prey efficiently since its eyes are spaced farther apart than other sharks.Gestation is 10 to 12 months, and a female shark typically has a litter of 30 to 50 pups every year.Once born, shark pups immediately leave their mother, who may be inclined to eat them. They begin hunting in shallow water for their own food.Most species of hammerhead sharks migrate toward cooler water in the poles every year. Mass migrations of hundreds of hammerheads have been documented.Hammerhead sharks range in size from 13 to 20 feet, and can weigh between 500 and 1,000 lbs.They feed on fish, squid and octopuses.
