The Great Hammerhead

Caption

The hammerhead sharks in the videos were at least twice the size of the blacktip sharks making them about 12 feet long. They can get as big as 18 feet long. Despite their large size, they are often found in relatively shallow waters that are likely an important area for their feeding.
