Tasmanian Globster

The Tasmanian Globster was a large unidentified carcass that washed ashore 2 miles (3.2 kilometres) north of Interview River in western Tasmania, in August 1960.

The mass lacked eyes and in place of a mouth, had "soft, tusk-like protuberances".

It had a spine, six soft, fleshy 'arms' and stiff, white bristles covering its body.

Wall in the journal Tasmanian Naturalist in 1981.

[1][2] The term globster was coined in 1962 by Ivan T. Sanderson to describe this carcass, and another journalist dubbed the corpse Sea Santa that same year.
