According to some research the hammer head sharks butt heads like billy goats, and use their heads to pin down prey until they can sink their teeth into it.
The most important defense of the Whale Shark (Rhincodon typus) is its enormous size.
The Whale Shark do not have many natural predators; even a Great White usually keeps distance from this species.
In Nature, size MATTERS.
Is well known from marine biologists and submarine photographers that when filming a Great White with - let's say - 3 to 4 meters long, he immediately turns away when a larger 5 or more meters female approaches.
Whale Sharks do have, however, some predators: the Orca and human beings. Also the Whale Shark, some millions of years ago, from the Miocene to very recently, shared the same seas with Livyatan Melvillei and C. Megalodon.
A whale shark, first of all, is not a marine mammal, but a fish. It's really a shark, has no lungs while mammals do, and does not have virtually any enemy. It is the biggest fish of the planet and there does not exist another fish that dares to attack him, because the size is imposed. The shark whale is inoffensive, it eats plankton, krill, aqnd even sometimes squid! As curiosity, there are scientists whose says that it is the most long-lived animal in the world, and can reach 175 years of age.
