"Why are hammerhead sharks' heads shaped like that?" Well, scientists believe there may be several evolutionary reasons for the shape of these sharks' heads, including: 🔨 a greater range of vision - due to their eyes being on either end of their broad head, they have a wide range of vision 🔨 trapping their prey - hammerheads can pin stingrays down and trap them with their large heads 🔨 large surface area for extra ampullae of Lorenzini - these electroreceptors help hammerheads (as well as other types of sharks and fish) detect their prey 📍Malpelo Island Hope Spot 🎥 Comunicaciones Fundación Malpelo
