Are hammerhead sharks in the Bible?
I don't think that the shark is mentioned in the Bible, but i could be wrong. The ancient Greek work ketos and the Hebrew work tannin were used by early historians to denote any large marine animal, such as whales and sharks. In the Bible these words have been translated as 'great fish' or 'dragon'. Jonah was believed to have been swallowed by a whale, however it is unlikely that back then people knew the biological differences between whales and sharks. In the early 1700s Linnaeus said that he believed the fish responsible was the great white shark. Therefore there could be more references to the shark in the Bible but these may have been lost in the translation. I found this information in a book called 'The Sharks' by R Burgess from the 1970s.

Distinctive Features
Bull sharks are very robust-bodied and have a blunt, rounded snout. They are lacking an interdorsal ridge. The first dorsal fin is large and broadly triangular with a pointed apex. They have a significantly smaller second dorsal fin. The pectoral fins are also large and angular. Bull sharks have relatively small eyes as compared to other sharks. This would tend to indicate that vision may not be as important for their survival. This may be due to the often reduced visibility in the waters they frequent.
Coloration
Bull sharks are light to dark gray on the top, fading to white underneath. On younger Bull Sharks the fins have distinctive black tips which eventually fade to a dusky color as they age.
