Description
Sirenia Sphyrnidae, better known as the Hammerhead Maid, is one of the apex predators found within the Sirenia class. Yet despite this, their interaction with man is quite limited. Unlike many other mermaid species that can be found in coastal seas the Hammerhead maid has no interest in interacting with humans. You will not find this species luring sailors, quite the opposite actually. Living mostly solitary lives the Hammerhead Maid is quite content not interacting with species outside their own. Having taken an extreme approach to their camouflage many times humans might not even be able to distinguish between actual shark and maid.
While humans are relatively safe around this apex predator other marine life, including smaller mermaid species, better steer clear. Using their serrated “toothed” arms, coined “mandible arms” they can quickly strike and cutch fast moving prey.
As with many Mermaid species, males and females are nearly identical. The only obvious dimorphism found are on males who possess “claspers” used in mating.
