HAMMER HEAD SHARKS

Hammerhead sharks like to eat:fish, octopus,crustaceans,other sharks and they really like to eat sting rays

The great hammerhead shark is the biggest species of hammerhead sharks. Females can produce up to 55 pups every 2 years. Sadly they are fished for there large fins for shark fin soup (STOP IT IS NOT RIGHT TO KILL SHARKS)

Reproduction usually start by the male biting the female until she agrees to mate with him. Hammerhead sharks give birth to live young which means the baby is fully developed inside the mother but waiting to come out

Shark fin soup is a Asian soup that involves the killing of hammerhead sharks. Thankfully it is banned by some places and states in the U.S.A and there is the shark conservation act which is also against shark fin soup.

There are many hypothesis's to the reason to why hammerheads have hammerheads but my idea is that hammerhead have the big head to see prey on both sides and it is a adaption
