Today's blog is on the wing head shark(Eusphyra Blochii), This shark is apart of the hammerhead sharks evolution and as seen in the graph below showing the evolution of this shark from the bonnethead shark to the winghead shark. This shark is a newly found species and their is not much information on the shark so i'll just tell you what I found on it, they're population is unknown and also they are being considered to be a threatened species, they have a large hammer and the give birth to 6-11 pups each year but only 2-3 will survive they give birth to them after a gestation period that is 8-11 months long when they are born they are 45 cm long and maturity occurs at 110 cm. I wish I could find more about this shark but Im sure that there is a lot more out there if you would like to know more then I am sure you reader can find out more.
