Tasmania has become the unofficial home for a unique variety of ocean born carcasses, which are commonly referred to as GLOBSTERS. Although details concerning the so-called Four Mile Blobster are sparse (as is so often the case) what we were able to dig up are some of the key facts involving this intriguing discovery.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Found in 1997, on a stretch of Tasmanian coast known as Four Mile Beach, this creature has produced at least one intriguing photograph and a flurry of speculation. Described by locals as a cross between a walrus and a GIANT SQUID, this creature was also reported as having paddle shaped flippers, spaghetti-like strands of white hair and six, long fleshy lobes running along its sides.<\/p>\n

Like it’s more famous counter parts – the BERMUDA BLOB and the TASMANIAN GLOBSTERS – this creature was said to have been made up primarily of fibrous collagen. The corpse was measured to be 15-feet in length, with a width of 6-feet, and was said to weigh approximately four tons. Purportedly some local biologists conducted a DNA test – some say the first ever to be performed on a globster – but the results were apparently inconclusive, leaving the experts as perplexed as the eyewitnesses.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
