Average speed of a hammerhead shark?

Hammerhead sharks are fast and agile swimmers, known for their unique shaped head and powerful jaws. On average, hammerhead sharks can swim at speeds of around 10-12 miles per hour (16-19 kilometers per hour). However, some species, such as the great hammerhead shark, have been recorded reaching speeds of up to 25 miles per hour (40 kilometers per hour) in short bursts. These speeds allow them to chase prey and escape predators effectively.
