Hammerhead Sharks
Hammerhead sharks are consummate predators that use their oddly shaped heads to improve their ability to find prey.
Their wide-set eyes give them a better visual range than most other sharks and their mallet-shaped head can more thoroughly scan the ocean for food.
It can grow up to 20 feet in length and weigh up to 1,000 pounds, although smaller sizes are more common.
Found in temperate and tropical waters worldwide, far offshore and near shorelines, hammerheads are often seen in mass summer migrations seeking cooler water.

Tiger Sharks &
Other Sharks
Tiger Shark – Up to 16 ft (5 m)
Tiger Sharks are found in many tropical and temperate waters throughout the world, and are especially common around central Pacific islands.
Its name derives from the dark stripes down its body that resemble a tiger’s pattern, which fades as the shark matures.
Although a relatively rare phenomenon, the tiger shark is responsible for a large percentage of fatal attacks.
Whale Sharks – Up to 46 ft (14 m)
The whale shark is found in tropical and warm oceans and lives in the open sea, with a lifespan of about 70 years.
Whale sharks have very large mouths for filter feeding. The head is wide and flat with two small eyes at the front.
Whale sharks are grey with a white belly. Their skin is marked with pale yellow spots and stripes which are unique to each individual.
