Four Mile Globster

The Four Mile Globster was an unidentified mass that washed ashore in Four Mile Beach, Tasmania, in 1997. The carcass was long, wide, and was estimated to weigh 4 tons. It was described as having paddle-shaped flippers, strands of white hair, and six fleshy lobes along its sides. Although no samples of the mass were taken, recent analysis of other globsters suggests that the Four Mile Globster was the partial remains of a decomposing whale.
