The remains of a giant sea creature were discovered off the shore of an Indonesian island this week, this huge monster causes panic and army response with locals on Seram Island first thinking it was a stranded boat, and nobody's quite sure what it is.
Local media reported that when one of the island’s residents, Asrul Tuanakota, 37, first saw the giant blob, he mistook it for a stranded boat. Some believe the decomposing remains are those of a giant squid, but others say the hulking corpse could belong to a humpback whale. The 50ft-long beast, which stunned onlookers first thought it was a stranded boat, had died in unknown circumstances before it was found on Tuesday.
A video shared by the official Facebook page of the Indonesian Army shows a man describing the creature at length. Local military units are guarding the carcass and attempting to move it onto land so that the water is not contaminated by the decomposition. Indonesian news website Detik reported that marine biology experts examined the remains on Thursday and took samples to identify the creature. The animal is thought to have died approximately two weeks ago. Locals initially feared it had beached itself following an 6.5 earthquake which killed six on Sunday. But scientists said it was likely hit by a ship.
