A hammerheads head is pretty much a massive sensory tool. Sharks detect electromagnetic fields all living creatures let off using a sense called electroreception. The hammerhead has an updated version of this you could say. With its wider head it has a greater range of electrorecption nerves, so when it is seen swimming along the bottom it is really picking up electromagnetic Fields from prey items as small as a sand crab. Also all sharks can pick the field emitted from the earth itself and use it to navigate.
