â¢ Hammerhead Sharks. There are several species of hammerhead sharks, which are in the family Sphyrnidae. These species include the winghead, mallethead, scalloped hammerhead, scoophead, great hammerhead and bonnethead sharks. These sharks differ from other sharks, as they have very unique hammer-shaped heads.
Paradoxically, the two largest species of shark, that make also the largest fish species, are harmless for people, being plankton feeders, like the whales: the whale shark (Rhincodon typus) (up to 20 m (66 ft) long and 34 tonnes in weight), basking shark (Cetorhinus maximus) (up to 9.8 m (33 ft) long and 4 tonnes).
