Shark sighted near dead whale off WA

PEOPLE are being urged to avoid a 10 metre-long whale carcass on a West Australian southwest beach after a shark was sighted in the area.

The humpback whale was spotted on Saturday by a member of the public, partially submerged at Buffalo Beach near Australind.

A Parks and Wildlife spokeswoman said the carcass has several bite marks, possibly from a shark.

At least one shark has been sighted in the area.

The spokeswoman said the department was considering its options for removal of the carcass and requested people did not access the remote, 4WD-only beach while the whale was there.

Signs warning people to stay out of the water and away from the whale have been placed on the beach.

Shark sightings should be reported to Water Police on 9442 8600.
