Description
Smooth hammerhead shark skull replica measures 4.7 x 12.6 x 3.5 inches. The Sphyrna zygaena is a museum-quality polyurethane resin cast from a private collector. 2-part skull (separate cranium and mandible) 1:1 scale. Made in USA.
This unique species prefers temperate waters. It occurs worldwide at medium latitudes. Long grooves run toward the center from nostrils located near the end s of the flat cephalofoil.
Triangular teeth with smooth to mildly serrated edges line their jaws. A streamlined body lacks a dorsal ridge between the two fins. The moderately tall first dorsal fin forms a sickle-like shape with a rounded tip.
This active-swimming predator hunts bony fishes, rays, and other sharks. They also target cephalopods, shrimp, crabs and barnacles.
These opportunistic hunters regularly scavenge from commercial fishing lines. In specific marine regions, stingrays comprise a majority of their preferred diet.
