A species of hammerhead shark, Eusphyra blochii, in the family Sphyrnidae, named for the remarkably wide lobes on its head. It is the sole species in its genus.
The fast-declining winghead shark – a species of hammerhead – has also proved vulnerable to unregulated fishing, due to its distinctive shape which lends itself to entanglement in fishing nets.
