Field Notes

Description:

Unfortunately this young hammerhead shark pup was caught in fishermen's netting. My guess is that it is Sphyrna mokarran, which are endangered.

not sure its a "great Hammer" looks to be more of a scalloped head hammer pup. greats heads don't slope back at that hard of an angle
