About Scalloped Hammerhead Sharks
These sleek and graceful beauties are found around the world in warm, temperate, and tropical coastal waters. Males grow to around 6 ft, females up to 8 ft. Their eyes and nostrils are found at either end of their uniquely-shaped head which enables them to see 360 degrees, and to pin down prey such as stingrays. The unusual shape likely increases surface area, enabling them to better detect electrical currents like fish muscles contracting for hunting. Historically, at certain times and locations, SHs would form groups numbering in the hundreds. Not much is known why they school yet remain solitary the rest of the time. We were fortunate to see them schooling in the Cocos and Malpelo Islands, and also in Los Revillagigedos, Mexico - a humbling, majestic sight that is increasingly rare due to illegal shark finning. Now, most known congregating areas are tragically depleted. These beauties were the first shark to be classified as endangered by IUCN. Find out more.
US Shipping: The good news – shipping for all US orders over $100 is free! Otherwise our standard shipping rates are $9.99 anywhere in the US (8.99 in Hawaii). If you are fortunate enough to live in Hawaii, we are happy to arrange a pick up.
International shipments: Please be patient while your purchase makes its way to you, we are a long way from most places. In fact, Hawaii is the most remote place from any other land mass in the world! Know that we will diligently get your order out as soon as we can, but that even with the best of timing, it may still take a few weeks to arrive. If you would like it sent somewhere not in our shipping list, please contact us or email at hello@alohikai.com and we’ll look into it for you.
Timing: ‘Alohi Kai jewelry is shipped from Hawaii, and some jewelry will be made to order which takes a bit of time. If we have it in stock, we’ll ship it out immediately.
