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.

It swims along the ocean floor until it senses prey and gulps it down. That why is has the strange head shape to find organism's electric currents.
They get their food by hunting it. They slowly go up to it and then go at it.
