    I believe it’s to spread out the electical sensors they use to detect prey in the sand/mud on the ocean floor.

      That doesn’t sound unreasonable. I didn’t know the main diet of hammerheads was found on the ocean floor?

      Edit: So according to the article linked by @TokenBoomer you’re partially right, apparently it also makes them more agile, which I guess is good if you’re trying to snatch things as they pop off the ocean floor.
