The hammerhead shark is easily recognizable by its distinctive “T”-shaped head, known as a cephalofoil. This unique structure provides several advantages, including a wider field of vision and better sensory capabilities to detect prey through Lorenzini ampullae, which capture electrical signals. Primarily inhabiting tropical and temperate waters around the world, hammerhead sharks are active predators that feed on a variety of prey, such as fish, squid, and crustaceans.
