Hammerhead belonging to the order carcharhiniformes sharks have long enjoyed sailors infamous.And you can not say that this was a dangerous predatory fish of other sharks.White Shark where as voracious, active, angrier in the end than the Hammerhead.No, the last also eat everything that moves, and the person will eat, if the tooth will fall, but white shark and many other fellow zoological classification it away.Who says that in the hierarchy of danger Hammerhead ranked third (skipping ahead even tiger shark), who argue that it is more peaceful.
Why Hammerhead considered so ominous?Primarily due to the fact that it always pay more attention because of the unusual shape of the head.It was this shark silhouette, reminiscent of a hammer with a handle, and gave her name.Looks predator, of course, effectively, so Hammerhead, photos that adorn many exhibition stands, is one of the symbols of the ocean.Photos of sharks in general, look advantageous: strong, clever, ruthless predators will not leave anyone indifferent.
known about this shark attack on a man a bit, but starved Hammerhead is very dangerous.This six-meter predator has sharp teeth, and in the process of evolution has acquired the quality of a born killer.However, in normal, non-extreme conditions it feeds mainly of fish and shellfish.The case when the stomach she found quite a large slope, and once even (but this is absolutely out of the field of maritime tales) and man - supposedly shark swallowed it whole!
Hammerhead is viviparous, and "one sitting" can bring into the world to fifty small "hammer."They live in packs of fish, though small in number.In search of food they constantly wander, swimming across to where the smell of food.
eyes sharks molotoobraznoy located on the edges of the head, and theoretically, the area directly in front of her nose is a "dead zone" that shark simply can not see.But check on their own experience, it is in fact, no one is recommended.After all, Hammerhead, like every shark in the water is guided mainly by smell and sound and vision plays only a supporting role.And then, the shark is little to change the position of the head (turn to the side, for example), as a "dead zone" would be for the experimenter to that in the most literal sense.
Why do fish such an unusual head shape?This question has long been tormented by zoologists.The answer is found only recently.It turned out that the plane molotoobraznaya head - a natural electromagnetic locator, and this unusual form is necessary for its effective operation - scan the surrounding area in search of food.
not be ruled out that the head of this form of sharks and need to use it as an extra fin.It is no secret that the Hammerhead is much mobility and maneuverability in the water than other sharks.She is so perfect body that could quickly breed in large quantities, if not a man who catches this predator, adjusting its numbers.
As they say, not all cat carnival, and a predator devouring everything around him, he often becomes food.According gourmet soup fin fish hammer - unearthly delicacy.Meat, say, delicious, too, but it is far fin soup - both in terms of culinary achievements, both in terms of price.
