Happy to offer some thoughts. J Milburn (talk) 17:31, 24 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"This species inhabits shallow waters close to shore" How shallow are we talking?

Surprisingly, none of the many sources I have give this, which leads me to believe it hasn't been quantified.

"Pregnant females have been reported to quarrel with each other.[4]" Why? What does this entail? Is this unusual? (I'm just trying to get an idea of its significance.)

I'd like to know more about it too, but this is the only information given in the source.

"Sexual maturity is reached at around 1.0–1.1 m (3.3–3.6 ft) long for males and 1.1–1.2 m (3.6–3.9 ft) long for females." What sort of age is this? Do we know?

This is not stated anywhere that I know of.

"Its meat, fins" Perhaps we could have a little about how the meat/fins are used?

Sentence expanded.

Generally very strong, as ever. I made a few tweaks. Sourcing and images seem solid. J Milburn (talk) 17:56, 24 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Let me know of further issues. -- Yzx (talk) 01:59, 25 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Great, happy to promote. Certainly a review on the shorter side, but I'm happy that this is ready. J Milburn (talk) 10:41, 26 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the review. -- Yzx (talk) 17:22, 26 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"The wide spacing of its eyes grants superb binocular vision," The eyes face right and left. It's vision NOT binocular, as the fields of vision do not intersect as binocular vision does. No hammerhead(or other) shark has binocular vision. A shark(or any fish) with that kind of eyesight would be truly interesting. There is no citation explaining why it's vision would be "superb". Please update. (instructions not clear on exactly how or at what line to insert an edit request, so I'm winging it. I'm cool with this being deleted after issue is reviewed).

The body of the text has a reference to support the statement re: binocular vision, and states that it is the best of any hammerhead. I don't know if that means it is "superb" vision, but it does appear to be sourced. Primefac (talk) 14:51, 12 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflict)

@Mr Ekshin: It seems you are looking only at the summary at the top of the article. Further down, there is another referenced statement about binocular vision - mentioning an overlap of 48° - which matches the table 1 value in ref 13. — jmcgnh^{(talk) (contribs)} 14:57, 12 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
