❃ What makes hammerhead sharks so unique? One of the most distinctive features of these sharks is their head shape. The front part of their head is flattened and extends outwards into a "hammer" shape. This unusual shape helps them to see better than other sharks.
❃ Hammerhead sharks are also known for their incredible sense of smell. They can detect prey from over a mile away! And, they have very strong jaws that can crush almost anything.
❃ These sharks are apex predators, which means they are at the top of the food chain. Their diet consists mostly of fish, squid, and other small animals. However, they are not afraid to take on larger prey, such as sea turtles and even dolphins. Read on about the hammerhead at our dedicate blog post or if you'd prefer a plushie we have you covered too!
