Pulp Science
Confused officials and perplexed bystanders in Mexico were greeted by a massive, shapeless pile of pulpy, greyish flesh back in 2016 after the jumble washed ashore on an Acapulco beach. Everyone wanted answers. Experts explained that mystery masses such as this one are the decaying heads of sperm whales, not piles of garbage.
Siberian Snowballs
On a coastline in Siberia, the beaches were recently blanketed by something unexpected...several thousand orb-like snowballs! They ranged in sizes from that of a small tennis ball to nearly 1 meter (3 feet) in diameter. Though this is a natural phenomenon, it is quite rare. Long-time residents in the area reported that this was their first experience seeing it!
