Hammerhead Shark Over Seabed Coloring Page

About this page

A hammerhead shark arcs through the water in the upper half of the page, its wide, flat head with an eye at each end facing the viewer and its body curving down toward a tail fin at the right. The mouth is a small, toothy curve under the head, and gill lines mark the side. Large pectoral fins and a tall dorsal fin give it a graceful shape, and bubbles drift around it in several sizes. Below, the seabed holds a clump of tall sea grass at the left and right, a rounded pile of rocks in the middle with a small leafy plant, and several shells: a ribbed scallop, a spiral shell and a smaller scallop. A starfish rests at the lower right on a sandy floor dotted with pebbles. The open water lends itself to blended color, suiting adults at a medium level.
