Cambeva

O tubarão-martelo-gigante (Sphyrna mokarran), a maior espécie de tubarão-martelo, atinge até 6 metros e é encontrado em águas costeiras tropicais e subtropicais de todo o mundo. Sua distintiva cabeça em forma de T (cefalofólio) aumenta dramaticamente a área sensorial para eletrorrecepção, permitindo detectar arraias enterradas na areia com precisão excepcional — as arraias são sua presa preferida. Criticamente Em Perigo, com populações que diminuíram drasticamente devido às barbatanas de alto valor e à mortalidade como captura acidental.
