The Blob

BBC News is reporting a giant blob that baffles marine scientists. It's 12 meters wide, found of the coast of Chile, and doesn't have a backbone.
"We don't know if it might be a giant squid that is missing some of its parts or maybe it's a new species," Elsa Cabrera, a marine biologist and director of the Centre for Cetacean Conservation in Santiago, told Reuters news agency.

The mass is too big to be a whale skin and does not have the right texture or smell, she said.
The picture is pretty different as well. UPDATE: They have found out what this blob is. Go read more about it in my later post.
