The great hammerhead shark (Sphyrna mokarran) is the largest and longest lived species in the Sphyrnidae family. The species' conservation status is listed by the IUCN's Red List as endangered worldwide with a "Decreasing" population trend and a "Very High Risk of Extinction". The principal conservation problem facing this species is its population decline. Sphyrna mokarran has a gestation period of 7 to 12 months, with 11 months being the average. While there is not sufficient research to substantiate a specific birth mass of the species, pup length at birth is between 50 and 70 centimeters. Females reach sexual maturity at 15 years of age, while males reach it sooner, at 6 years. Sphyrna mokarran. Common Name. great hammerhead. Kingdom. Animalia. Location in Taxonomic Tree . Genus.
