I guess it wouldn't be possible to confuse the humpback with a sperm whale...?

Looks to me like a jellyfish mated with an octopus. :lol:

Maybe its sperm from a sperm whale... 8O

No doubt about it...it's a massive lump of Bill and Hillary Clinton's lies and deception finally come back to haunt them. I warned them!

Or maybe it's something else. What do I know....

 

[mooner]

Agreed and apologies...just seems this one was off track from the get go. My bad.

They updated the article. Now they're more confused. Now one guy thinks it's an octopus and another is convinced that it's just a chunk of rotting whale.

Hmm this is different from the original article how, exactly?

hi.
Any body's guess is as good as anybody's. Without DNA or physiological anaylsis, you can say whatever you want. There is a big difference between a mammalian(whale) tissue compare to a invert (octopus), but I don't know much about forensic to see if it is as easy as it sounds.
