The Chilean Blob was a 13-tonne mass of tissue discovered on a beach in Los Muermos, Chile in July 2003. It made headlines around the world because biologists were unable to identify it, and were speculating that it was the remains of some species of giant octopus previously unknown to science.
In June 2004, it was reported that fragments of DNA found in the blob had been found to match that of a sperm whale: the blob was merely the remains of a dead whale.
