A large great hammerhead shark (Sphyrna mokarran), about 4m in length, cruises overhead. The hammer-shaped head improves manouverability for catching prey, provides enhanced senses (such as a wide spread of ampullae of Lorenzini and steroscopic vision). Grand Bahama, Bahamas. The Bahamas National Shark Sanctuary. Gulf Stream, West Atlantic Ocean.
