🦈Bonnethead
Малоголовая молот-рыба, или малая молот-рыба, или акула-лопата (лат. Sphyrna tiburo) — один из видов рода акул-молотов (Sphyrna), семейства молотоголовых акул (Sphyrnidae). Филогенетический анализ на основании исследования митохондриальной ДНК в 1993 году показал, что, в отличие от традиционной интерпретации, молотоголовые акулы с небольшими головами, в том числе малоголовая молот-рыба, представляют собой промежуточную форму между серыми акулами и рыбами-молотами с большой головой. Филогенетические взаимоотношения молотоголовых акул на основании морфологии, изозимов и митохондриальной ДНК
