Sperm whale explodes in Tainan City Blood and guts of 17-meter long 50-ton mammal splatter sidewalks, automobiles parked nearby 2004-01-27 / Taiwan News, Contributing Writer / By Jason Pan A dead sperm whale being transported through Tainan City on its way to a research station suddenly exploded yesterday, splattering cars and shops with blood and guts. Certified by authorities as the largest beached whale on record in Taiwan, the 17-meter 50-ton carcass was being transported by a flat-bed trailer-truck to a special research location after National Cheng Kung University officials and security guards refused to allow the whale on campus. <snip> "The animal was close to death when someone found it beached on shore on Saturday... Because of the natural decomposing process, a lot of gases accumulated, and when the pressure buildup was too great, the whale's belly just exploded and spilled blood and the innards on the street," Wang said. etaiwannews.com =========================================================== M
