Authorities in New South Wales have issued a shark warning after a humpback whale swam 11 kilometres upstream in the Clarence River and later died. Officials are cautioning river users that the carcass could attract sharks, and are working out how to deal with the remains. The rare journey deep into a coastal river and the animal's death have drawn wide attention in Australia.
Why now: A whale swimming far upstream and dying is a rare event, and the resulting shark risk poses a public safety concern.
