bonnethead

Sphyrna tiburo

The bonnethead is a small shark that looks like a hammerhead but has a rounder head! They swim in warm waters and are known for their playful nature, often seen gliding gracefully through the ocean.

生息地: Coastal areas

外見

The bonnethead has a distinct, shovel-shaped head, much like a wide spade, making it easily identifiable among sharks. Its body is typically grey-brown on top, fading to a lighter underside, providing camouflage in coastal waters. Unlike other hammerheads, its head is smooth and broadly rounded.

Female bonnetheads can sometimes have babies all on their own, without a male shark!

Their wide, shovel-like head helps them 'sweep' the ocean floor, flushing out hidden crabs!

These sharks sometimes travel in huge groups, with hundreds of individuals cruising together!
