A three metre decomposed whale head has washed up on a Perth beach, forcing authorities to close the area amid fears the carcass could attract sharks.
The head, believed to belong to a sperm whale, was found at Sorrento Beach on Monday morning.
The carcass is three metres long and 1.5m wide.
Department of Parks and Wildlife said the head was from a mature sperm whale and it most likely died from natural causes.
The remains are located about 800m north of the Marmion Angling and Aquatic Club.
Authorities will remove the whale head on Monday afternoon and the beach remains closed.
