The hammerhead sharks are a group of sharks that form the family Sphyrnidae, named for the unusual and distinctive form of their heads, which are flattened and laterally extended into a cephalofoil. The shark's eyes are placed one on either end of this T-shaped structure, with their small mouths directly centered and underneath. Most hammerhead species are placed in the genus Sphyrna, while the winghead shark is placed in its own genus, Eusphyra. Many different— but not necessarily mutually exclusive—functions have been postulated for the cephalofoil, including sensory reception, manoeuvering, and prey manipulation. The cephalofoil gives the shark superior binocular vision and depth perception.

Meet the Amazing Hammerhead Sharks
Hammerhead sharks are a group of sharks with a unique and distinctive head shape. They have flattened and laterally extended heads that look like hammers or shovels. These are called cephalofoils and they help them in many ways.
Any of the shark species that are characterized by a flattened hammer- or shovel-shaped head.
Smallest breed
Scalloped Bonnethead
Largest breed
Great Hammerhead
These sharks' broad, flat, hammer-shaped heads are called cephalofoils, and no other creature in the world has a head quite like it.
Hammerhead sharks have a special organ, which detects electrical signals emitted by living creatures in the water.
The positioning of the eyes, mounted on the sides of the shark's distinctive hammer head, allows 360° of vision in the vertical plane, meaning the animals can see above and below them at all times.
