hammerhead
Wide-eyed ocean predator
A hammerhead is a shark with a distinctively flattened, T-shaped head, the eyes positioned at the outer edges.
The shape extends to anything resembling it: a hammerhead crane has a horizontal beam atop its tower.
As slang, a hammerhead is a stupid or stubborn person—someone whose head seems as dense as a hammer's striking surface.
