Hundreds of Hammer Sharks are very surprising to scuba divers in the Galapagos islands

A wave of hammerhead sharks approaching Scuba divers. The hammerhead shark is a slightly scary looking ferocious shark that guards the waters in which they live as if they are not afraid of anything. It is not surprising that they are very confident considering the fact that they have highly developed eyesight and sensory organs that make them very capable hunters. Unlike most shark species, hammerhead sharks flock in groups of more than 100 individuals during the day, although they are solitary at night when hunting. Often seen in large congregations in areas like this, in the Galapagos Islands, they drift slowly in the current. It is a magnificent sight to behold and scuba divers come from all over the world to swim among these amazing animals. Always on the move, most shark species don't have a swim bladder and they have to keep moving to stay out of the bottom. They can also breathe more easily because the movement causes a greater flow of water over their gills. Hammerheads can actually rest one hemisphere of their brain in a sleep-like state, while the other hemisphere remains active to watch for threats. The Galapagos Islands is simply amazing to visit!
