How do hammerhead sharks generate electricity?

Hammerhead sharks generate electricity through specialized electroreceptor organs called ampullae of Lorenzini, which are located on their heads. These organs can detect the weak electrical fields produced by the movements of prey and other animals in the water. By using these electrical signals, hammerhead sharks can locate prey even in murky waters or when hidden under sand. This electroreception is a crucial adaptation for their predatory lifestyle.
