How do hammerhead sharks reproduce?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

No, pretty sure they don't. Most sharks just lay the eggs of their young in a safe spot, and leave them to fend for themselves, but there are some sharks that take care of their young though I'm almost 100% hammerheads leave their young when they lay their eggs....

Answer 3

Swim away.
