Locals puzzled after massive sea creature washes up on beach

Another giant, unidentified sea creature?? Yes, and it's "turning the water a bloody red", they say...

AN unidentified sea creature has washed ashore in Indonesia’s Maluku province.
The colossal carcass was found on Hulung Beach on the westside of Serum Island on Tuesday night by a local man.
In the darkness, Asrul Tuanakota, 37, initially mistook the huge fleshy blob for a stranded boat, according to the Jakarta Globe.
Fishermen in the island’s Iha village are convinced the remains are those of a giant squid while others who have viewed the footage say the stinking mass could also be a decomposing humpback whale.
The bloated 15 metre corpse is believed to have been dead for at least three days by the time it was found.
Close up vision shows its discoloured skin turning the waters a disconcerting red as it disintegrates.

The 7ft 8in Teen Who Can’t Stop Growing: BORN DIFFERENT

A GIANT teenager has reached a record-breaking height of 7ft 8ins - and is still growing. Broc Brown, who was officially the world’s tallest teenager before becoming too old for the 18-and-below classification, is growing at the rate of six inches a year. If he maintains that rate, the 19-year-old from Michigan could easily surpass the current world’s tallest man, Sultan Kosen, who stands at 8ft 2ins.

Giant Gator Walks Across Florida Golf Course

Omg. Look at the size of that thing. And he’s just strolling across like it’s no big deal. “Carry on boys. I’m just trying to get to the other side. Don’t mind me.” The video has been viewed over 5M times in less than two days…

Talk about a hazard! A giant alligator took a stroll across the fairway, making his way to the lake beside the third hole at Buffalo Creek Golf Club. 

“He was at a pretty safe distance,” Golfer Charles Helms stated. “This alligator was so large he would only move slowly about 100 feet at a time before having to lie down and rest so he probably wasn’t in as much danger as it may have appeared. An alligator expert may refute that; I’m just going on what I have been told.”
