An impressive and heartwarming video is making the rounds on the internet after swimmers rescued a hooked hammerhead shark.
The hammerhead was completely cooperative in the… operation
The shark does not react even though it is obviously in pain from the bathers’ attempts to remove the hook.
One of them holds him by his distinctive head, while another brings a tool to cut the hook.
After a few minutes, the… operation is deemed successful as the hook has been removed from the injured animal.
Then the man holding it by the head pulls it from the shallow water to deeper water so that the hammerhead can escape.

What is a hammerhead shark?
Hammerheads (also known as hammerheads, hammerheads, and hammerheads) are sharks belonging to the order Carinamorpha with a distinctive and unusual head structure, which flattens and expands like a hammer.
Hammerheads form the family Sphyrnidae and are divided into two genera, the genus Sphyrna and the genus Eusphyra which includes only one species. The role of the head structure is not precisely known, with theories suggesting that it sharpens the senses or aids in locomotion and manipulation of prey. Hammerheads frequent close to shore and are one of the few shark species that form schools. The length varies depending on the species from 0.9 to 6 meters and they weigh half a ton.
