Hammerhead sharks are consummate predators that use their oddly shaped heads to improve their ability to find prey. This shark's distinctive head is designed for greater agility and panoramic vision, making the hammerhead a hunter to be reckoned with. Their wide-set eyes give them a better visual range than most other sharks. And by spreading their highly specialized sensory organs over their wide, mallet-shaped head, they can more thoroughly scan the ocean for food. Frequently found in our waters here from far offshore and near shorelines, they are often seen in mass summer migrations seeking cooler water. Most hammerhead species are fairly small and are considered harmless to humans. However, the great hammerhead's enormous size (no public records of being seen yet in the Maldives) and fierceness make it potentially dangerous, though few attacks have been recorded.
