I always thought it was kinda odd that collectively they are "hammerhead sharks", yet none of them have the word "shark" in their name. --70.18.1.227 15:08, 21 April 2007 (UTC)What the hell does that mean? - UtherSRG 00:46, 29 Apr 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Image

I can't see the shark in the picture. Get a new one please. Righteous Monkey 06:15, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Agreed. The shark is too small in the picture. Please get a new image similar to those used in other shark articles. --TheAznSensation 00:21, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)

WPShark is trying to find a suitable public domain image, it is on the to do list. So a better picture should appear soon! Lenny 06:58, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

--H2ono2 21:53, 25 January 2007 (UTC)== hammer head sharks are cool ==

is used in the article on Sphyrnidae, perhaps that can be used here?

[edit] Ampullae of Lorenzini

In the second paragraph of the "Physical Description" section this article states that the Ampullae of Lorenzini are involved in echolocation. Surely this is wrong? They are electric sense organs, and a quick Google check doesn't associate them with echolocation. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.111.230.93 (talk • contribs)

Yes that looks like a mistake, I removed it, thanks for spotting it!! --Stefan ^talk 11:38, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
