These cells sense minute changes in water pressure and help fish build up a mental picture of their environment. The lateral line is made up of a series of pores formed by modified scales and hair cells. Hammerhead shark's snout are filled with cells called the Ampullae of Lorenzini.

Scalloped hammerhead females gather together in big schools. Males seek them out for breeding, and during the actual mating process the sharks stop swimming and sink until they break apart and begin to swim again. A young or newborn shark can be 35 in. and an adult can be up to 20 ft.

These claspers are basically an extension of their pelvic fins, and they are responsible for fertilizing the females' eggs through her cloaca. Female sharks could produce eggs without having sex.

Their DNA are located in the mitochondrial(Capillaries). Also a fun fact I found was that all sharks have the same DNA like the rest of the sharks. This is only portion of the DNA and most of the DNA are located in the nucleus cell.

This helps them cool of their body and blood at the same time. This also makes them not tired and they can get full energy when they swim on their sides.]]> 2018-10-01 20:22:23 UTC https://padlet.com/1033290/qkbs6gq1wo1q/wish/287859780 1033290 https://padlet.com/1033290/qkbs6gq1wo1q/wish/287860000 There is no surprise for this organism but our shark is an omnivore. A Hammerhead shark is also a consumer. A Hammerhead shark mostly get their energy by eating and hunting their meal. Also a way of saving energy is by swimming in a tilted position. One efficient way of saving energy is by swimming on a 75 and 50 degree angle. Most of the times they swim like this to cool themselves off.

The cephalofoil shark was first seen 20 million years ago. These sharks are like a hammerhead shark with their flattened heads and eyeballs at each end.

They weight 180 pounds average. They eat squid, octopus, and crustaceans. Stingrays are a particular favorite.

We were amazed about this and the truth is that there are 9 types of hammer sharks in the world. There are wing-head, scalloped, white fin, scoop-head, great, Bonnie, small-eye and smooth hammer sharks. They could all last for about 35 and 35 years old. An other fact is that hammer sharks are mostly in the south on earth, not in the north. For example look at this picture.]]> 2018-10-05 03:06:16 UTC https://padlet.com/1033290/qkbs6gq1wo1q/wish/289448208
