A whale carcass has washed up on Bathers' Beach in Fremantle.
It was spotted just after 8am on Saturday.
WAtoday reporter Brendan Foster arrived on the scene a short time later and photographed the whale.
"There is a crowd of about 30 or 40 people around along with security and rangers on the beach," he said.
Fisheries advise whale carcass washed ashore at Bathers Beach. Exercise caution in the area, until the whale carcass can be removed.

The Department of Fisheries issued a warning about the carcass which was tweeted by Surf Life Saving WA.
Whales are migrating along the coast at the moment, and this week drone footage captured stunning action of a pod of six whales swimming near Rottnest Island.
