Description
Great Hammerhead Sharks range in size from 13 to 20 feet. Their strangely adapted head contains sensory organs called "Ampullae of Lorenzini", which allow the Sharks to locate the electrical fields of their sea floor dwelling prey. This is a photograph of a wild Shark, taken in open water in the Western Bahamas.
