Hammerhead Sharks Marine Science/ Per. 1 Sharks are one of the most feared sea animals. They live in oceans across the world but are most common in tropical waters. There are over three hundred fifty species of sharks. They can be broadly categorized into the following four groups: Squalomorphii, Squatinomorphii, Batoidea, and Galeomorphii. The shark family Sphyrnidae that includes the Hammerheads are part of the Galeomorphic classification. They are probably the
If a bull shark and hammerhead shark were to fight, the bull shark would win. Bull sharks are the most dangerous sharks in the world! Along with this, bull sharks have special adaptations, and they hunt in shallow waters. Although hammerhead sharks have great vision, the shape of their heads, and the placement of their eyes cause them to have a huge blind spot right in the middle of their head. This makes it easier for other sharks to win a fight against the hammerhead. According to many experts
perfected certain strategies that have enabled them to develop more successfully in the environment they inhabit. One such case of this successful development is the great hammerhead shark. The great hammerhead shark, also known as Sphyrna mokarran, is a pelagic shark and is found world wide in
Recent studies from the article “Hammerhead shark migration gives new hope for conservation” discusses how these hammerhead sharks have been listed onto the IUCN (International Union for the Conservation of Nature) since 2007, also having certain regulation about international trade threatening species going extinct. Dr. Tristian Guthridge explains the benefits of understanding the shark’s behavior and more research of where these sharks are migrating, and possibly manage the time of fishing in the
source krill. The Great Hammerhead was known to have movements, but it was not-believed that the movement was in patterns like a yearly migration of most animals that migrate. The Great Hammerhead shark is a large shark and can grow up to 20 feet and weigh in at over 1,000 pounds. Until Recently it was unknown if the Great Hammerhead Shark migrated. Advancements in Marine Science and Technology are the main reasons why, more information is coming to light about these sharks migration patterns along
Why a Hammerhead Shark would make a Bad Pet Who wouldn’t want a Hammerhead Shark as a pet? Even though I think sharks are awesome, and other people agree there’s a few little things you might want to consider before you think you could have one as your man’s best friend. The rest of this paper is about the reasons why you shouldn’t have a Hammerhead Shark as your new BFWF. (Best Friend With Fins.) First of all, the size of the tank and the tank’s location might be a problem. One reason is adult
features of the hammerhead shark that have changed over time. Most notable, though, is that the shape of the head has continually expanded over time, emerging the the unique shape for which this species has been understandably named. Along with the lateral movement of the head, the sharks also had to compensate for the changes through adapting a new eye shape and process for pupil dilation as the placement of the eyes had also moved. Scientists believe that this adaptation helped the sharks by providing
For this discussion, I chose to examine the reproductive nature of mountain lions and hammer head sharks. Mountain lions are solitary cats that live in various mountainous regions of north and south America, but a male and female come together socially in order to mate during the 3-10 day estrus period. Due to their solitary nature, mountain lions rely on scent marking in different territory as well as a mating call of the female in order to initiate the potential for sex. Typically, when a male
Lime green hammerhead sharks wrapped around the cobalt blue aluminum framing and silver hand breaks glittered in the sunlight. When my brother and I were kids, having a bike was a gateway to freedom and more independence. I’d watch Kenneth race up and down the cracked sidewalk on the silver Gremlin bike awaiting my turn to ride. My instincts to keep up with my big brother would boil, I coveted that Gremlin and when I did get the chance to ride it, I felt brave. Kenneth’s new Hammerhead bike meant
started painting the mural on my wall. Every time he comes to visit he updates the mural with more detail, which makes the mural more and more interesting. The mural on my wall is an underwater seascape. On the wall closest to the door there is a hammerhead shark, an octopus, and a dolphin. On the wall opposite my door there is a large coral reef that has all different types of blues, reds, yellows, and greens. All of these bright colors bring the wall to life.
