WELCOME TO YOU AND THE ENVIRONMENT.

Welcome, the climate has changed the world over. Well...we have been told that countless times. In seminars,workshops, in the media everywhere! But come to think of it, How close to you do you think these issues of environmental change are? Most times we dont closely associate issues of environment with what is happening in our lives....they are too far.Until rains fail, until a stream near our residence dries up, until our taps runs dry,untill we get sick and a doctor diagnoses us with a disease caused by heavy metal disposition in our environment, untill........the list is endless. Issues of environment are closer to us than most of us may care. Here you will get very incisive articles on environmental topics.Again, welcome.

Hammerhead sharks is one of very intriguing animals to the marine researchers.Hammerhead sharks(Sphyma)get their names from the unusual shape of their heads.A hammerhead shark uses its wide head to find and trap stingrays by pinning them to the floor of the sea.They also eat bonny fishes,lobsters and crabs.

The hammerhead eyes are placed on each side of its head which allows it to search more area for food quickly than any other shark.It also has highly specialized sensory organs, which pick up electric signs of hiding living sea creatures.Its teeth are like the edge of a saw,while its mouth is on the underside of its head.

The great hammerhead is the largest of the nine species of this shark.It can grow up to six metres in length and weigh up to 450kgs.
Unlike many fish they do not lay eggs.Females give birth to live young ones(pups)which are born with more rounded heads. One litter can be from six to fifty pups.

These sharks are found in most warm ocean waters through out the world and are considered harmless to humans.However the great hammerheads enormous size and fierceness make it potentially dangerous.Hammerheads are among the few creatures that get a tan from exposure to sunlight, a feature shared by pigs and humans.Tanning occurrs when a hammerhead is in shallow waters or close to the surface for long periods.
