A Sperm Whale


  In 2004, a dead sperm whale washed up on the shore on Taiwan. This monster of a whale was 17 meters long (56ft), and weighed over 50 tons. As the whale began to decompose, there was a build up of gas within the whale that had no way to escape. Eventually, the pressure of the gas build up was so great, the whale exploded, covering bystanders, shops and vehicles nearby in whale entrails.
