Hammerhead Sharks

Tiger sharks have they have 5 gills

Hammerhead Sharks are carnivorous predators. Their diet includes fish, squid, Octopus, Crustaceans and Sting Rays. Sting Rays are one of the hammerheads favorite prey species. Large Hammerhead species esp. the "Great Hammerhead" is known to feed on other hammerhead species as well. Hammerheads are also cannibalistic, they eat their own young ones.

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.

Hammerheads are one of the medium sized species of sharks, which make them an easy target for fishermen. Their fins are a delicacy. As a result of overfishing, hammerhead numbers have fallen drastically in many of their habitats. Fishermen usually cut off their fins and toss the remainder of the fish into the sea to die a horrible death. Loss of habitat is another danger to these sharks. Because of widespread uncontrolled hunting, hammerheads are considered an "endangered" species. Unless hunting them is stopped soon, these species may become extinct very soon.

Fish and sometimes people if they get too close.

According to the International Shark Attack File , housed at the University of Florida: The Hammerhead shark has been attributed with a total of 33 recorded attacks since 1580 with no deaths. A Hammerhead Shark grows to around 20 ft. full grown and is the most manueverable of all sharks; attacks have been blamed on adolescent Hammerheads seeking a mate and accidently trying to "nail" a human. The Great Hammerhead is the most dangerous to man.

I am not that sure, but this is what I think....Some fish get the stink depending on what they eat, or because of their surroundings of the underwater world, and partly from pollution....

Hope this helps!

no animals hunts the hammerhead shark,they are at the top of the food chain.although they get caught in nets we don't usually hunt them

Bigger sharks may kill them on occasion, but large hammerheads have few enemies. Their unique head shape gives them an advantage in maneuverability.

Yes, they travel in large groups in military formation most likely for safety purposes. I believe this is why their species is considered healthy and stable and is not on the endangered list.

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. They can be found in areas where their favorite prey like fish, squid etc are found in good numbers

Like any other shark, the hammerhead shark isn't really different. Hammerhead sharks enemies are many different thing, just like sharks if you bother a hammerhead shark the are mostly liking to attack you and for surfer the odd are very low. Like other sharks, the might think that the surf board is a seal, or any other small fish and for dolphins being a hammerhead shark enemie is very rare. So hammerhead really don't have any enemies

most sharks can only live in certain temperature water which is mainly warmer water and if the water got colder yes they would migrate to warmer water or they would die which is why they are having suspicions of great white sharks and other sharks coming in to Britain as the ice caps are melting.

the teeth and the tip of the head and/or nose can cause major injuries or death

there are many types of hammer head sharks and not all of them are endangered. ask a more specific question
