Hammerhead dragon craving for seafood
How can I explain a female adult dragon standing at 30 to 32 meters living on the peaks of a snowy mountain, will dive and swim hundreds of miles into the ocean to hunt for sperm whales and colossal squids and bring them back to its nest where its hungry young are waiting? what kinds of evolutionary traits does this particular species of dragon possess in order to fish for food in the abyss?
Note: Kindly state in your answer how does the dragon overcome baro-trauma or decompression sickness, most importantly also include abilities that enable the hammerhead dragon (not to be confused with hammerhead shark) to "see" its prey while submerged. It uses its "mantis claws" to stun its prey by generating high temperature from collapsing vacuum in the water to produce powerful shock-wave to KO its opponents. Its detachable tail acts as a lure to bait potential colossal squid by wriggling and the vibration is so powerful its mimic the low frequency of a sperm whale. There are colonies of bio-luminescence bacteria growing underneath its translucent scales which display brilliant colorful light to communicate to their own kinds during diving. It also has a pouch in front of its belly to store its emergency ration such as live cows and lions, and last but not least it has been shown to use its own eggs as projectiles to incapacitate its enemy when it feels threatened.
