Don’t Swim Away From Me!

The 1975 movie thriller “Jaws” made waves as a blockbuster that sunk its teeth into the fears of many with its spine-tingling portrayal of sharks. With these jaw-dropping sea creatures packing up to 3,000 pearly whites in their lifetime, it’s no wonder folks might feel a tad intimidated. But don’t fret; the swimmer here is far from becoming chum.

That’s no ordinary shark—it’s a hammerhead, a member of the Sphyrnidae family, known for its impressive cephalofoil. This distinctive head shape is thought to improve the shark’s sensory perception, turning it into a smarter, faster hunter that can detect prey with ease.
