Meet Kaida

Great Hammerhead Sharks are one of the ocean’s most fascinating and elusive predators. With their distinctive hammer-shaped heads and remarkable hunting abilities, they’ve roamed the seas for millions of years, playing a vital role in marine ecosystems.

Kaida, a graceful female hammerhead, navigates the warm, nutrient-rich waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Known for their keen senses and powerful swimming, Great Hammerheads like Kaida can cover vast distances in search of prey, including stingrays, squid, and small fish. Her journey through the Gulf reflects the adventurous spirit and adaptability of her species.

But life in the ocean isn’t without its dangers. Kaida faces challenges such as habitat loss, overfishing, and entanglement in fishing gear. These threats are amplified by climate change, which alters ocean conditions and impacts her food sources. Despite these obstacles, Kaida’s resilience underscores the importance of protecting sharks and their habitats.
