A giant tiger shark has made itself at home scarily close to Western Australian shores, clearing popular Mullaloo Beach.
The juvenile, 2.5-metre shark, was filmed in the shallows of the beach just 20 minutes north of Perth.
Drone footage from a Perth resident shows the shark just metres away from unaware swimmers.
Tiger sharks are considered one of the most dangerous species in our oceans, with the sighting closing the beach to swimmers for the last few days.
It's not the first time this year Mullaloo Beach has been closed due to sharp-toothed visitors after reports of shark sightings in January.
