Well there are 9 different species of Hammerhead Sharks : Winghead shark Scalloped bonnethead White fin hammerhead Scalloped hammerhead Scoophead Great hammerhead Bonnethead Smalleye hammerhead Smooth hammerhead The Great and the Scalloped hammerhead are listed on the World Conservation Union's 2008 Red List as endangered, whereas the Smalleye hammerhead is listed as vulnerable.

The scalloped hammerhead is circumglobal, residing in coastal warm temperate and tropical seas.
From my understanding roughly 25 years.
There are 9. All 9 species of the hammerhead belong in the family Sphyrnidae and the genus Sphyrna. The 9 species of hammerheads are scientifically known as S. zygaena (smooth hammerhead), S. lewini (scalloped hammerhead), S. mokarran (great hammerhead), S. couardi, S. tiburo (which consists of S. tiburo tiburo and S. tiburo vespertina and are also known as bonnetheads or shovelheads), S. media, S. corona, S. blochii, and S. tudes.

Yes, because of hunting or habitat loss. Two of its species are currently listed as endangered (Great and Scalloped hammerheads) and two are vulnerable (Smalleye and Smooth hammerheads).
Anchor (Sphyrna lewini) , from Finding Nemo , is a scalloped hammerhead shark .
Yes, scalloped hammerhead sharks do have scales. Like all sharks, they are covered with dermal denticles, which are small, tooth-like structures that provide a rough texture and help reduce drag while swimming. These scales are different from the scales found on bony fish, as they are more similar to teeth in structure.
hammerhead sharks can be found in warmer and tropical waters.
It depends entirely on the species of shark. For instance, the Great White shark is Carcharodon carcharias, the bull shark is Carcharhinus leucas, the scalloped hammerhead shark is Sphyrna lewini, while the scalloped bonnethead (another species of hammerhead) is Sphyrna corona. There are over 470 species of sharks in the world. Regroup, rethink your question, and reask it.
The scalloped hammerhead shark is considered a threatened species due to overfishing, bycatch, and habitat destruction. Conservation efforts are underway to protect this species and promote their recovery in the wild.
