Despite their large size (average 3.5-4 meters with larger individuals approaching 6 meters), great hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna mokarran) are exceptionally agile due to their cephalofoil’s hammer-like shape. This image perfectly demonstrates the bending coefficient, which is calculated by: 1-(distance from tip of snout to tip of caudal fin/total length of the shark). A bending coefficient closer to 1 indicates a higher level of flexibility.

Bowmouth guitarfish pups (Rhina ancylostoma) 

Conservation status: Vulnerable (IUCN)

In colloquial settings, the bowmouth guitarfish is referred to as a mud skate or a shark ray due to their head looking like a ray and their body looking like a shark (x). They are currently classified as a ray in the family Rhinidae, which is almost exclusively comprised of various wedgefish species. Their distribution is within the western Indo-Pacific, from South Africa to Australia. They are reported to be more active at night and mainly consume crustaceans.

The females are viviparous, with their embryos’ source of nutrients coming from the yolk (Michael, 1993). The females also have only one ovary and uterus, unlike the sand tiger sharks (Carcharias taurus) which have left and right uteri (Devadoss & Batcha, 1995; Compagno, 1984).

An interesting characteristic of the bowmouth guitarfish is its defense. They have spines along their dorsal surfaces and have been known to ram perceived threats, which largely includes the tiger shark (Galeocerdo cuvier) (x2; Simpfendorfer et al., 2001).
