From a shovel to a mallet, and even an aeroplane - the hammerheads really do win the prize for some of the most bizarrely shaped sharks out there. But why do they have such oddly-shaped noggins? What do they eat? Where do we find them? And why are one of the most charismatic groups of sharks in the world also one of the most threatened?

In this episode we are joined by Dr Kelly Kingon, Associate Professor at the University of the Bahamas, SOSF project leader and co-director of the non-profit CHaPO (Conserve Habitats and Protect Organisms). Kelly has been trying to find scalloped hammerhead nurseries in Trinidad and Tobago to inform conservation and management strategies for this heavily fished species. We discuss the amazingness of hammerheads, their unique adaptations and conservation status, before zooming in on Kelly's research to discover what's happening to baby hammers in the warm waters of the Carribean.
