It’s a shark-eat-shark-world! In amazing footage shot with a drone, massive hammerhead sharks can be seen hunting a frenzy of blacktip sharks.

Each year, large hammerhead sharks migrate near the beaches of Florida in search of blacktip sharks. These 6 ft long blacktip sharks are the perfect prey for the massive hammerheads, with some measuring over 14ft in length.

Watch the incredible drone footage in the video below:


This isn’t the first time we’ve seen hammerheads involved in shark-on-shark combat. However, in some cases, the hunter becomes the hunted.

In the video below, an unfortunate hammerhead caught in a fishing line is viciously attacked by a hungry tiger shark. Hammerhead sharks are often prey for larger sharks like this.
