About World's Deadliest:
World’s Deadliest Predators is a new series that looks at most riveting moments of animal predation, breaking down the struggle for survival and supremacy into five action-packed episodes. Top Hunters focuses on the most feared animals in their class: animals at the top of their food chain; the hunters who are prey to no other animal. Killer Packs illustrates when predators multiply their advantage over prey by banding with others of their species to hunt. Lethal Weapons shows that the physical attributes and built-in concealed weapons have the ability to make an animal a top predator. Our Superpowers episode focuses on the animals that see, hear, and smell better than any others…and that relative to their size on are the fastest and strongest creatures on the planet. And whether it is over food, territory or sex, animals go to war within their species and against other species…Battles dissects these conflicts, from the strategy to the play-by-play. These five episodes bring together dozens of species, which are extraordinary, savage, and the World’s Deadliest Predators.

The hammerhead seems more like a candidate for Worlds Weirdest, rather than Worlds Deadliest imo.

a tiger shark with a polaroid camera in both sides. that's worlds deadliest for sure.

[@terrytt5067]

About 25 years ago I had the privilege of diving in a school, or is it shoal of these magnificent animals. Hammerheads (HH) of varying sizes at roughly 20metres depth as far as the eye could see, just slowly going with the current, so I (in hindsight foolishly) joined them for a few minutes; surrounded by dozens and more giving me such a buzz! They gave me the "once over" but never an aggressive move! If however I encountered a lone HH, that's a different ball game as many were 14 ft+ and very aggressive! Have a nice day and to all those addicted to "Compressed Air", keep on "bubbling"!

[@B1ack_Manta]

Sounds like a great hammerhead. They are often loners and get massive. They rarely school or socialize.

[@DoubleM-hf6ih]

I love Hammerhead sharks.those are my number one favorite sharks to learn about. The Blue shark is my second favorite. If it wasn’t for my disability I would love to swim with those amazing creatures.

[@Sharkacy]

Yes. Me too. They are my absolute favorite animal and shark, ever. I hope one day you can swim with them! Sorry for whatever sickness/disability you have! Feel better soon

[@anaangeles410]

Yes feel better.

[@BlanBonco]

IDK your disability but dove as a paraplegic with quadreplegic lasting twice as long as me underwater.

[@Hellen_Back]

May be cognitive or cardiac related. It’s really unsafe to dive below 5m with those conditions

[@OfficialChrisW]

Mommy I can't see my nose

[@hammerheadshark9873]

Can confirm

[@ryanfallon]

I thought your display pic was an eyelash on my phone, and I just kept moving it around for a good ten seconds.

[@gat4835]

Who else looked at their nose ?

[@Wolfspaine7N6]

They didn't mention that they pretty much have one of, if not the best sensory adaptations in the world. They can sense any living things electromagnetic output.

[@bigcarl2001]

This part. Way more receptors on the hammer make them the best at hunting prey.

[@HandsomeBoyGarion]

Shark is like why or you filming me

[@HRussell8]

That turtle really does not give a toss about that group of sharks. He goes where he likes.

Cute how all the fishes swim together, even the small colorful ones.

unknown Unknown people swim with hammer heads

[@victorserrano8440]

Jerry Qin the white shark is just feared because of discovery channel and shark week they are giving them bad rep just cause that's what they think people want to see they are over dramatic with the detail shark attacks are rare but most attacks aren't from white sharks. It is bull sharks tiger sharks and oceanic white tips that attack people more and still don't attack very often

[@dreajp]

David Meyers Because they're unpredictable AF LOL 😂.

[@tvbnine793]

@@zanerich9460 hammerheads that move in groups are most likely females that are just traveling together to keep away males. When they're by themselves males bombard females but when they're in schools they can shoo away the males they don't want and let in the ones they do

[@tyson1ize]

there are many different types of hammerhead around 30 I believe. These scalloped hammerheads are not dangerous to man, the only hammerhead that is , is the 'great hammerhead' and grows up to 6mtrs in length another very large shark predominantly a tropical to temperate species

[@slavj]

Even the great hammer head has only 1 (provoked) attack recorded in history. They aren't very aggressive.

[@tyson1ize]

if you mean 'un'provocted then you may be correct but I am unsure of this statistic but it does sound right,

[@Howlingburd19]

tyson1ize from what I know, there is the Scalloped Hammerhead, Smooth Hammerhead, Great Hammerhead, and the Bonnethead :)

[@completenobody1959]

Holy, 30? I’m pretty sure there is only 9...

[@sharkboibjskitsplushiesstu3645]

There are 10 species of hammerheads whitefin Hammerhead the great hammerhead the scalloped Hammerhead the winghead shark Bonnethead shark scalloped bonnethead shark smooth Hammerhead scoophead shark Carolina Hammerhead and the smalleye hammerhead

[@victorserrano8440]

The truth about the hammer heads shape is that the hammer has a lot of sensitive nerves to feel the energy of animals under them for there hunting sting rays they have poor vision but really good sense of smell and there head works like a big metal detector that looks for the energy of hidden animals in the sand

[@effiechina5662]

1:40 *neck cracks* me: *oof* all i gotta say is *oof* da hammerhead shark

[@vrronk]

i love hammerheard sharks so much, even though they are funny looking i think they are super cool and smart and kinda like me

[@kodykody6954]

Favorite shark.

[@sorrowsuperstar10]

great soundtrack

[@nitheshkirubakara]

an other reason why they they have the hammer-like head is ; that it gives more space for more ampulla of lorenzini .

[@Hackbott]

this music is so good

[@AussieGirl620]

that music making hammer head so gangsta !

[@AnimilesYT]

I know the most dangerous animal in the whole world. They are called 'humans'.

[@druidboy76]

Animiles Oh shut up.

[@AnimilesYT]

druidboy76 sharks aren't hostile to humans. This video is just full of bullshit. so no. I won't shut up until they make honest video's.

[@alderbernhardt]

Animiles tell that to the people who've been attacked by bullsharks,or the families who been killed by them, go and swim with tiger sharks and see how you get along.

[@AnimilesYT]

Chad Hendrick Sure. I could do that. Simply because there aren't that many. Only a few people get killed by sharks each year. Donkeys kill way more people.

[@alderbernhardt]

Animiles give me the links to the source and I'll compare them to the records of shark attacks to donkey" attacks as proof of your back up, if not your either stupid,a troll, or uneducated.

[@nicholeperry64]

The swim around with a big entourage! Even the small fishes swim with them for protection. lol

The Hammerhead shark was evolved because of its torpedo head evolution gone wrong

Cool 😊

damp, they didn't even talk about the variety of acute sensors packed within the hammer.

Stop! Hammertime!

[@imnotnormal4818]

My favourite shark breeds are hammerhead sharks 👁👄👁

[@danield8287]

Just so you know, the title makes it sound like your attacking sharks, like their extremely dangerous to humans

[@Damstraight68]

I thought the head was used to detect sea creatures under the sand or in coral at the bottom of the ocean by way of detecting the electric impulses of the animal using it's ampullae of Lorenzini. Thats the primary use of the wide hammer head, its more of a metal detector head. They didn't even mention it..

[@evanhairgelion]

Dammit jacob

[@rydeck239]

I have average feelings about this.

[@lighting1012]

hammer heads also have a sixth sense some can actually pick electronic pulses from muscles movements under there hammer shaped head, by using a jelly or something,i'm pretty sure

[@sharkboibjskitsplushiesstu3645]

all sharks have that skill hammerhead sharks just have it better thanks to the cepheliphoil I forgot how to spell that

[@sharonjohnston426]

Cool 😎 🦈

[@BenjaminWongYT]

Overall, the facts stated are relatively accurate even though it's 10 years old. The only thing I don't like is how they keep cutting to a different species of Hammerhead. Most of the footage here shows Scalloped Hammerheads (Sphyrna lewini) and Great Hammerheads (Sphyrna mokarran) with 1 scene showing what appears to be a Bonnethead Shark (Sphyrna tiburo). Furthermore, I feel like this should be a "World's Weirdest" and not a "World's Deadliest" since the Hammerheads (Sphyrinidae) are only involved in a couple attacks on people. Here's my opinion. Accuracy: 8/10 Footage Choice: 3/10 Representation: 9/10 Use of Drama and Themes: 10/10 Overall: 7.5/10. A good video, without the usual drama that happens in most other videos or documentaries.

[@meowmeowfan]

I believe the hammer shape of the head also detects electrical pulses with nerve cells located there to pinpoint exatcly where a prey is :D

[@rawd2388]

True

[@TheJLJuke]

the narrator sounds like a badass

[@BriefCasey795]

DAMN NATURE YOU SCARY

[@BlueSyn12]

I CANT BELIEVE HOW CLOSE UP THEY CAN GET!!!!

[@tcorourke2007]

Incredible evolutionary design... which it uses to eat the little fishes.

[@survivalkiing]

I thought prey had eyes on the side of its head. Guess I got proved wrong.

[@Solweigx3]

Oh yes of course it is, what did I think of. Didn't watch the video before commenting, but then I realized. Thanks for your answer btw.

Sharks are cool

OMG So cute.....

[@avidspots]

I wonder if there is a hammershark alive that can't go left.

[@gunsnstuff4040]

Deadliest? FYI: There is no record of a human fatality from an attack from the Hammerhead!

But can they see stuff thats directly in front of them ?

Just one more before bed

[@skullyskaric7779]

they don't seem that dangerous to me but...pretty quick tho

[@Solweigx3]

Is World's Deadliest about the animals that are most deadly to humans or to animals in general?
