A decomposing sperm whale has exploded while being transported through a Taiwan city, splattering cars and shops with blood and blubber.
The 50-ton carcass was being taken through Tainan City, on its way to a research centre, when it blew up.
Certified by authorities as the largest beached whale on record in Taiwan, the remains were being carried on a flat-bed trailer at the time, reports the eTaiwannews website.
Officials at the National Cheng Kung University had refused permission for a post-mortem to be carried out on the whale at their facilities, and Professor Wang Chien-ping ordered the remains to be taken to the Shi-Tsao Natural Preserve.
He said: "The animal was close to death when someone found it beached on shore on Saturday.
"Because of the natural decomposing process, a lot of gases accumulated, and when the pressure build-up was too great, the belly exploded."

"More than 100 Tainan city residents, mostly men, have reportedly gone to see the corpse to 'experience' the size of its penis," the newspaper reported.
