well the answer to a similar question i saw it said right when they lay their eggs they abandon them. NOT TRUE! sharks are viviparous which means that the egg hatches in the body and has live birth. but i think it still leaves their young to fend for themselves.

Hammerhead Sharks are carnivorous predators. They feed on a variety of fish, squid, octopus etc. They usually swim along the bottom of the ocean stalking their prey. They use their unique hammer shape head as a weapon. They use their head to pin down Sting Rays (their favorite prey) and eat them when they are weak or in shock. They use similar tactics to attack other prey species like Octopus or Squids.
