Description
The hammerhead shark from Schleich® Wild Life stands out for the shape of its head: it resembles a hammer.
Hammerhead sharks feed on sardines, herring, and mackerel. Legend once said they killed their prey with their heads. Today, there is evidence that their unusual head shape serves to enhance their perception. Like the hammerhead shark from Schleich® Wild Life, the eyes are on the left and right sides of the head, giving the predator a 360-degree view. Its snout allows it to detect electromagnetic signals from its prey.
Funny detail
Most sharks are solitary. Hammerhead sharks, on the other hand, live in schools of up to 100.
