SAFARI LTD Hammerhead Shark 2 Figure

Found in the waters off the coast of every continent except for Antarctica, hammerheads are a diverse group of sharks. They differ from other types of sharks not only because of their unique anatomy, but because they are very social and tend to school with one another during the day. While not as iconic as the great white shark, the hammerhead is one of the most unique and specialized predators roaming Earth’s oceans. Similar to other types of shark, hammerhead attacks on humans are exceptionally rare. As of 2013, only 33 total attacks have been recorded, none of which resulted in fatalities. Likewise, only three of the nine species of hammerhead shark have been documented attacking humans, including the scalloped, smooth, and great hammerhead.
