Hammerheads usually mate once a year and this happens when the male shark bites the female violently until she agrees to mate with him. After fertilization and gestation, the female gives birth to around 12 to 15 pups. The Great Hammerhead which is much larger than other species gives birth to litters of around 20 to 40 pups. Hammerheads do not raise their young. The young swim off immediately after birth and stay away from elders who might kill & consume them. The baby sharks huddle together and swim towards warmer & shallow waters and stay together until they are old enough to defend themselves.
