Default Rare shark!

It's a shark....haven't you ever seen a hammerhead? I thought you were in Florida?


Hammerhead sharks have sort of like fins on the sides of their heads. The eyes
are out on the end of them. But their heads are still streamlined if you look at them
from the front. They are like streamlined stalks or wings. It's sorta like having an
extra set of fins like porpoises have on their sides where the arms used to be before
they went back into the sea and evolved. But hammerheads have them on their heads.

Cheers,
