Hammerheads are usually talked about as if it was just one creature but in a matter of fact the hammerhead shark comes in nine different species. The largest of the species is the Great hammerhead shark, they can range from 3.4m to 6m long and 225kg to 450kg in weight, the females are larger than the males but males mature at an earlier stage, although smaller sizes are more commonly found. The hammerhead sharks habitat is offshore in water depths of 300m, also in shallow coastal areas like continental

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

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

Tampa Bay, and Florida Bay studies. In Northwest Florida, adult bonnetheads fed mostly on crabs, whereas in Florida Bay, adult bonnetheads fed mostly on other crustaceans and cephalopods (Bethea et al). Bonnethead sharks are one of the smaller hammerhead species; ranging from two to five feet in length, known for their semicircular head. It is not know if the plant material found in the stomach of the bonnethead is due to the shark eating it intentionally or if the plant gets consumed as the bonnethead

head. That is why it’s nickname is the shovelhead shark. This shark is one of nine species of the hammerhead shark. These sharks all have a unique hammer or shovel-shaped head. The shovel shaped head helps the shark find its prey easier. In a 2009 study found that the shark could nearly see 360 degrees vision and excellent depth perception. This shark is the smallest member of the Hammerhead family. The maximum length is about 3.5 feet. The bonnethead shark matures about 2 years of age (about

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

There are many different species of hammerhead sharks, the largest of which is the Great Hammerhead, or Sphyrna Mokarran. The great hammerhead, though endangered, is found all over the world’s oceans, has many distinct physical features, and has a very diverse diet. The great hammerhead also gives live birth and is considered potentially dangerous to humans, but is still regularly fished for many reasons. DISCUSSION-LOCATION The great hammerhead shark is one of approximately ten related species

The movie Jaws was written by Peter Benchley and directed by Steven Spielberg. It created mass chaos in an unknowing world. In Francis’s article "The State of Sharks, 40 Years After Jaws," he drives into the negative and positive effects of Jaws on shark populations. He mostly focuses on Australia and the United States. Before the movie was released, little was known about sharks. People were oblivious to the danger, but swimming was not a huge recreational activity. Early sailors wrote journals

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day I have motion sickness, but not enough so that if i was tossed around on a mechanical bull but enough so that rough seas and a bumpy car ride on a mountain will make me yuke. It was spring break of 2015, we were in maui hawaii. My dad and i had been certified divers for around 3 years and both had around 100 dives under our belts. This was our first adventure to hawaii we wanted to do all of the most memorable dives with the coolest experiences. The

when the seasons change. Humpback Whales migrate to follow their food 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
