From what is known about the <a title=\"Winghead shark\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Winghead_shark\">winghead shark<\/a>, it would appear that the shape of the hammerhead has to do with an evolved sensory function.

The hammerhead shark is thought to be the birth animal of some children.
