Introducing the Carolina Hammerhead.

A team of University of South Carolina researchers has made a remarkable discovery: a rare new breed of hammerhead shark it has dubbed the Carolina hammerhead.
The shark's outward features are indistinguishable from those of the common scalloped hammerhead, a kind of low profile that allowed it to go for so long without detection, according to a USC news release.
What's new and distinct about the new species is that it has 10 fewer vertebrae than a scalloped hammerhead.

Carolina Hammerhead. Sounds like a new ECHL team name for Myrtle Beach.
