The  Hammerhead and Scalloped Hammerhead

The hammerhead and scalloped hammerhead are similar and different in
many ways. First, the adult hammerhead length is 13-18 ft and the
scalloped hammerhead length is 13-19 ft. That's only one foot longer than
the regular hammerhead but it still makes a difference! The next difference
is that the scalloped hammerhead is most often found around the small
islands of Wolf and Darwin in the Galapagos and the Cocoa Islands in
Costa Rica! The hammerhead sharks are most commonly found during
summer migrations seeking cooler water. The last difference is that the
depth of the scalloped hammerhead shark is 280 yd but the depth of a  
hammerhead shark is 300 yd. Well, that's all the differences. Now we are
on to the similarities. The first similarity is that they are both obviously in
the hammerhead family even though they come from different parts of the
world. The last similarity is that the hammerheads can live up to 20-30
years. So even though the two hammerheads are different in many ways
they are still the same in many ways, too!

There’s a BIG problem, the beloved Galapagos tortoise is endangered
and might becoming extinct! Scientists are working on ways to save
the tortoises! One way people are helping the tortoises is marking
areas that the tortoises are only allowed and where no food or drink
is allowed so tortoises can not get sick. Secondly, to save more
tortoises, the eggs are brought from their natural nest to the rescue
center on the Island of Isabela. They care for the babies until they
are old enough to survive in the wild on their own. The last way people
are helping the tortoises is blocking roads where tortoises can cross.
Those are some ways people are saving Galapagos tortoises!
