A Hammerhead shark is a marine animal that is best known for its head which appears flat and bears a likeness to a hammer. The eyes are found wide-set on either side of the 'hammer'. Most species of hammerhead are considered harmless to humans, however, the Great Hammerhead is potentially dangerous due to its size and ferocity. Hammerheads are found in warmer waters along continental shelves and Coastlines.
