Tasmania, New Zealand, Bermuda. All are sites of the beaching of strange marine animals known as Globsters (a broadly-applied name for any beached carcass), or more specifically, Blobs.
Blobs vary greatly in size, anywhere from about eight feet long to as much as thirty (2 ? - 9 meters). However, the appearance in the 'genuine' Blobs varies little. All are of about the same proportion, being in height about a third or a quarter of the length. All have stringy flesh with no skeleton (bony or cartilaginous), which is reputedly extremely tough- 'Bermuda Blob' (May 1988) discoverer Teddy Tucker likened cutting it with a knife to 'trying to cut a car tire.' In addition, all Blobs are more or less irregularly cylindrical in shape, with a flattened underside, and thinly covered in some type of hair. Some also bear what appear to be gill slits, and the 'Tasmanian Globster' (August 1960) had a small mouth on its underside, while the Bermuda Blob apparently had five limb-like extensions.
No satisfactory explanation for the five Blobs that have washed up on tropical shores has been put forth. Some have suggested a decomposed chunk of whale blubber or a horribly decomposed shark, however, the details found on these creatures defy such explanations. It is entirely possible that these creatures belong to some entirely unknown group of animals.
