Hammerhead Sharks

Only in the Northern parts of the South East stretch of the Indian ocean found near Egypt has this ever been recorded. This is due to the fact that these Sphyrna lewini, or more commonly known as Scalloped hammerhead sharks (the specie of hammerhead sharks found in these waters) have been forced to eat the vegetation in these parts of the world attributed to the reality that most of the fish that use to thrive in these waters have migrated to some parts of the Indian ocean near the coast of West Morocco. Leaving these sharks with no other source of food, although there are still some Protoreaster linckii, also known as the Red-knobbed starfish that frequently fall victim to these shark's ruthless, yet strategically planned, attacks. These poor creatures are number 17 on the WWF list of endangered species.

Sharks do not sleep

Hammerhead sharks gather in large shoals during the day, then hunt alone at night. so i would say no

A Brown Banded Bamboo Shark has the unique ability to survive for 12 hours out of the water if it gets stuck in shallow water during low tide, until the next tide comes in.

Great white sharks are carnivorous, and primarily eat fish (including rays, tuna, and smaller sharks), dolphins, porpoises, whale carcasses and pinnipeds such as seals, fur seals and sea lions and sometimes sea turtles. Sea otters and penguins are attacked at times although rarely, if ever, eaten. Great whites have also been known to eat objects that they are unable to digest. In great white sharks above 3.41 m (11 ft, 2 in) a diet consisting of a higher proportion of mammals has been observed.[16] These sharks prefer prey with high contents of energy-rich fat. They are at the top of the food chain, and are indeed consumers.

They Call It A Hammer School But I Don't Know Why

Yes, hammerhead sharks can attack humans. According to Shark week (Discovery Channel) in the last year there have been 33 attacks by hammerheads. None of these were fatal. There are 9 different species of hammerhead sharks.
Sometimes, yes. But very rarely. There are fewer than 15 reported cases of unprovoked attacks on humans.
According to my son's shark book, they are very aggressive and attack humans easily.


According to wikipedia:

"Of the nine known species of hammerhead, three can be dangerous to humans: the scalloped, great, and smooth hammerheads."

According to Buzzle.com:

"Are Hammerhead Sharks really as dangerous as they sound?
Well, although sharks have always been associated with being aggressive and dangerous to encounter in the sea, no shark would bite a human for no reason and most Hammerheads are small in size. Such are considered harmless to humans. Well, as long as you don't get into their bad books by provoking them! When caught by fishermen, they are generally released back into the wild."

Hammerheads are found worldwide in warm waters along coasts and continental shelves. They can be found in good numbers in Southern & Eastern Africa, Malpelo Island in Columbia, Costa Rica, Hawaii etc. They usually move around in groups and turn solitary hunters at night.

A hammerhead shark is unique because its head looks like a big hammer. That's why it's called a hammerhead shark, of course!

They can be if any part of your body gets in its mouth, or if it is thrasing around and it hits you.

There are 9 known species of hammerhead shark, they are all predators. They eat many things including other sharks and they have been know to be canabalistic, so in a sense a hammerhead shark may fall prey to it's own species.

Adult horseshoe crabs are benthic, in that they live on the bottom in sandy or muddy ocean areas, occasionally coming ashore; and don't swim around in nektonic fashion like most fish.
