Why do hammerhead sharks have hammer-shaped heads? In this video, we answer that question. It all has to do with their electroreceptors, also called Ampullae of Lorenzini. Hammerheads evolved wider heads, because it allowed their electroreceptors to spread over a wider area, which allows them to detect more fish (to eat).
