Transcript
00:00In Fiji's waters, hammerhead sharks move between very different worlds,
00:05from sheltered coastal nurseries to reef edges, drop-offs and open blue water.
00:12For scalloped hammerheads, the journey often begins close to shore.
00:17Young sharks use estuaries, river mouths and lagoon edges as safer nursery areas
00:23where food is available and larger predators are less common.
00:27As they grow, they move toward deeper reef slopes and drop-offs,
00:33often gathering in schools above the reef edge.
00:36Great hammerheads live a more solitary life.
00:39Larger and more powerful, they often cruise over sandy channels, reef edges and open coastal waters,
00:46searching the sea floor for prey.
00:49Their wide head helps them scan the sand and detect hidden animals such as rays.
00:54Together, these sharks show how connected Fiji's ocean habitats are,
01:01from muddy coastal shallows to deep reef walls and open ocean currents.
