With its flattened, hammerhead-shaped head, the hammerhead shark is arguably one of the most striking sharks in the ocean. This distinctive shape gives it a wider field of vision and improves its ability to detect prey.
Surprisingly, thanks to sensors on its head, it can detect the electrical fields emitted by fish, even when they're hiding in the sand. Living alone or sometimes in spectacular schools, the hammerhead shark feeds mainly on rays, squid, and fish. Fast and agile, it can travel great distances in the open sea, but also approaches tropical coasts.
This Papo figurine faithfully recreates the hammerhead shark: slender silhouette, imposing dorsal fin and characteristic head. An ideal model to enrich a collection of marine animals, invent spectacular stories or to educate children about the diversity and fascinating adaptations of sharks.
