S. LEWINI (SCALLOPED HAMMERHEAD)

THE COLOR OF THE HAMMERHEAD RANGES FROM GREY TO SLATE, TO OLIVE-BROWN TO OLIVE-GREY. ALTHOUGH IT IS SUSPECTED OF BEING A MANEATER, THERE ARE NO DOCUMENTED CLAIMS TO SUPPORT THIS. MANY BIOLOGISTS FIND MOST HAMMERHEADS TO BE NON-AGGRESSIVE. HAMMERHEADS HAVE BEEN SPOTTED IN HUGE SCHOOLS WHILE MIGRATING.
THE SMALLEST OF THE HAMMERHEADS ONLY REACH A MAXIMUM OF 3 FEET, AND THE LARGEST
REACHES A MAXIMUM OF 20 FEET.
