How big is a newborn Scalloped Hammerhead and where have they been found?
Newborn Scalloped Hammerhead pups are 15 to 18 inches (38 to 45 centimetres) long. They are found in shallow bays where there is plenty for the young hammerheads to eat but few large predators to eat them. These bays therefore serve Scalloped Hammerheads as relatively safe “nursery areas” and are important to the species’ continued survival.
