An Australian woman has suffered injuries after being struck and injured by a whale shark while snorkelling.
The woman, 29, had been swimming with a tour group at Western Australia's popular Ningaloo Reef on Saturday when she was hit by the animal's tail.
A swim with whale sharks - the largest fish species globally and typically docile - is a popular tourist activity.
Police said work safety regulators were investigating the incident, as it had involved a charter group.
St John's Ambulance said the woman had suffered internal bleeding and upper torso injuries "from the crush".
