Question

Why are hammerhead sharks called so?

Answer 1

Hammerhead Sharks:

1. Hammerhead sharks are the most recent species to have evolved, having done so only 20 million years ago, despite sharks having been present for more than 450 million years.
2. Because of the peculiar shape of their heads, hammerhead sharks get their name.
3. The mallet-shaped heads of hammerhead sharks, which are ferocious hunters, help them locate the prey they need to consume.
4. They can spread out their highly specialized sense organs, which they employ to find food, due to the vast elongation of the head.
5. In addition, these sensory organs are quite high-tech beyond sight and smell.
