The squeamish should look away now. A team from the Australian Museum was recruited to dispose of a dead Sperm Whale. Dismembered into more manageable pieces, the carcass was then buried on site. The ocre sand and early decomposition makes the beast look more like a giant strawberry dainish than rotting marine megafauna. Images Courtesy of Finton Mahoney.
