The Hammerhead

hammerheads

The Hammerhead shark has a head similar to a hammer. There are several types of hammerhead sharks including the scoophead , the bonnethead , and the smalleye hammerhead.They have diffrent names because there heads have diffrent small details. The hammerheads evolved during the mid-tertiary period.They mate once a year producing 30-50 pups. They range in size from .9 - 6m. Their head is thought to help them find food . It also aids in sharp turns so they7 don't lose stability. Sometimes, they form schools of about 100 hammerheads. They are thought to be bottom feeders. They are vertabrates. Found by warm coastlines and continental shelves.

great white shark


Above: one of the great whites favorite treats



When the great white shark is born it swims away from its mom. The reason some mother great white shark somtimes eat there own young. At birth this shark is already 5 feet long!!! Thats one big baby!!!!Many great white pups dont survive there 1st year.

The shark pups usally eat fish and other sharks when they are pups. When they get older the eat sea lions and seals. After eating a seal and/or a sealion the can go a month or 2 without eating a big meal.
Great whites are the largest predatory fish on Earth. They grow to an average of 15 feet (4.6 meters) in length, though specimens exceeding 20 feet (6 meters) and weighing up to 5,000 pounds (2,268 kilograms) have been recorded.They have slate-gray upper bodies to blend in with the rocky coastal sea floor, but get their name from their universally white underbellies. They are streamlined, torpedo-shaped swimmers with very forcefull tails that can propel them through the water at speeds of up to 15 miles (24 kilometers) per hour. They can even leave the water completely, breaching like whales when attacking prey from underneath.
