Description:

Objective: Sharks face a high risk of injuries throughout all life stages and are there- fore expected to show a good wound closure capacity. Methods: Here, the wound closure of one major injury and one minor injury to the first dorsal fins of two free- ranging, mature female Great Hammerheads Sphyrna mokarran is described macroscopically. Result: The sharks showed complete wound closure of single, clean- cut lacerations
