Local authorities closed the beach for several kilometres in each direction of the carcass, which appeared to be about six metres long. Multiple sharks have been spotted in the area, including a five-metre great white. “It is possible the carcass will continue to act as an attractant that could lead to sharks coming in close to shore along this stretch of coast,” the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development warned. “People should exercise additional caution.” 🎥: @bruckhalaupka #perth #greatwhiteshark #whale #australia
