The great hammerhead shark is the largest of nine different species of hammerheads in the world. The common name is inspired by the iconic hammer-like shape of the shark's head.
Juvenile hammerhead sharks start with a rounded head, but as they mature, their heads "flatten," creating a more rectangular shape with their eyes and nostrils on either end.
