Hammerhead Shark

Facts/Information

There are around 10 different species of hammerhead, with the largest being the great hammerhead shark.

Their hammerhead namesake is from the protruding rectangle on their head called a cephalofoil, which actually gives them superior vision to other species!

Well... except for directly in front of them. That's a blindspot.
