The great hammerhead is my favorite animal on the planet! There is just something so mesmerizing about watching them move. Their large head, known as the cephalofoil, allows their eyes to be wide set, which increases visual range. It also creates a larger surface area for electroreceptors called the Ampullae of Lorenzini, which can detect faint electrical pulses like heartbeats. This shark got away, but sadly, there is a hook left as a reminder. 👎 Great hammerheads are protected while they are within the Bahamian Shark Sanctuary, but these sharks are highly migratory and much of their journey is spent in unprotected waters. Sharks have been around for over 400 million years, so let's do our part to make sure they continue swimming in our oceans. 🦈#HealthyOceansNeedSharks - @biminisharkgirl
