In the United States, it can be found in the waters along the Atlantic coastline all the way to Florida and around to the Gulf of Mexico. In the Pacific, this shark can be found from California through Mexico and southward to Peru. It is also found in the Caribbean region, in the Mediterranean Sea from Senegal to Morocco and in the Indian Ocean from French Polynesia to New Caledonia.
Just as their eyes have a broader range of use, so do their noses. Hammerheads have wider nostrils than most sharks and are able to smell prey from a great distance. The great hammerhead shark when fully grown can reach up to 20 feet and can live between 25 and 35 years. Like humans, the female sharks carry their young, but they can produce between 20 to 50 pups at a time.
