It isn't about where they live but their behaviours. Sharks barely wander to shore let alone get stranded save they chased a sizeable meal and it is almost impossible for those kills to have killed the Hammerhead save it was either stranded or that it was dying already.


Whale sightings are regular in Nigeria but seeing sharks in our waters, which is somewhat alien, is an indication that migration might have occurred and that in itself is a scary trend. Hammerhead are hierarchical, social sharks; that spells trouble...

I do understand you.

But this particular specie, hammerhead sharks, aren’t so far to the coastline and continental shelves

Hence no much cause for alarm bro
