H is for Hammer Headed Hammer Head Shark
H is for Hammerheaded Hammerhead Head Shark
Tagalog: Crosan
Scientific Name: Sphyrna lewini
This shark has a humungous hammer shaped head.
A Hammerhead can find his favorite foods hidden under the sand, like the stingray.
His head has pores filled with electric jelly that can sense other animals even when they are hidden.
You can also call these jelly pores “electroreceptors” or “galvanic cells”
The bigger the head, the more pores and therefore it’s easier for this shark to detect electric impulses from other sea creatures.
Finding invisible things is this sharks special power so playing hide and seek with him is not recommended.
