The Tasmanian Globster was a large unidentified carcass that washed ashore {{convert|2|mi|km|sigfig=2|abbr=off}} north of Interview River in western Tasmania, in August 1960. It measured {{convert|20|ft|m|sigfig=2|abbr=on}} by {{convert|18|ft|m|sigfig=2|abbr=on}} and was estimated to weigh between 5 and 10 tons. 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. The carcass was identified as a whale by L.E. Wall in the journal Tasmanian Naturalist in 1981,[1] and a later electron microscopy analysis of the collagen fibers confirmed this.[2] The term globster was coined in 1962 by Ivan T. Sanderson to describe this carcass and the name Sea Santa, coined by another journalist in the same year. {{externalimage|topic=Newspaper front page |width= |align=right |image1=[https://i.imgur.com/8wcequp.jpg The Mercury, Friday, March 9, 1962] }} Second carcassA similar find was reported by Ben Fenton, one of those involved in the earlier find, in 1970.[3] It was buried in the sand, but the visible part was 8 ft (2.4 m) long. Pictures taken of this carcass have since gone missing.
