AN ambitious shark has been chasing a big whale along the Perth coast today — just a day after the controversial drum lines were removed.

Surf Life Saving WA said a four metre great white shark was spotted 100 metres off the Floreat Groyne at City Beach just before 11am this morning.

The shark is believed to have been attracted by a six metre whale that was spotted 25 metres off City Beach, 500 metres south of the groyne, earlier this morning.

The shark was reportedly seen swimming near the whale, with both animals tracked by SLSWA's helicopter as they headed north.

Several Perth beaches, including City Beach, Scarborough, Brighton and Trigg, were closed today but have now been reopened as the animals moved away.
