  Reference.com/Encyclopedia/Globster
Globsters are most frequently studied in the field of cryptozoology.
Many globsters have initially been described as gigantic octopuses, although they later turned out to be the decayed carcasses of whales or large sharks.
Some Globsters have only been examined after they had decomposed too much to be used as evidence for a new species, or have been destroyed, as happened with the famous "Cadborosaurus willsi" carcass, found in 1937.

 Globsters - The Remains of Mysterious Sea Creatures   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Globsters are of interest to cryptozoologists simply because they are unidentified.
According to the established scientific community, globsters are simply the corpses of known if unusual sea creatures that have decomposed and/or been mutilated in such a way as to make recognition difficult.
To cryptozoologists the allure remains that the globster might be an unknown species that normally lives in the depths of the ocean and has not yet been discovered by humanity.

A globster is an unidentified carcass washed up on the shore of an ocean or other body of water, or found in the stomach of a whale.

 The Cryptid Zoo: Globsters
"Globster" is a technical term used by cryptozoologists to refer to mysterious carcasses that originate in a watery environment.
This globster was officially declared to be a dead Baird's beaked whale, in direct contradiction to its coat of fur and its length (Baird's beaked whales are not known to reach more than 42 feet in length, and do not have fur).
Strangely, the idea that globsters are really unfrozen prehistoric animals has been used by some scientists to justify an attitude of having no interest whatsoever in globsters, when, in fact, the carcass of a mammoth or some other prehistoric creature is normally an object of intense scientific interest.

Measuring no less than twenty feet (6 meters) long and nearly as wide, four and a half feet (1.4 meters) tall and estimated to weigh somewhere between five and ten tons (4.5 to 9 tonnes), this animal, or piece of an animal, is an enigma.
Although the creatures that followed the Tasmanian Globster were all in worse states of decomposition, they are all allied by their lack of any form of skeleton, their tough, stringy flesh which is extremely difficult to cut, described by Bermuda Blob discoverer Teddy Tucker as “like trying to cut a car tire” (Ellis 1995, p.
The original term for these creatures is Globster, but this name was later applied to all manner of beached mystery creatures, and has become useless to describe the original creatures that were given this name.

They claim that the globsters were first discovered on the west coast of Tasmania in 1960 when the body of one was washed on a beach by a storm.
However, others define Globsters as mysterious pieces of meat that wash up onto shore or are sometimes caught in an unfortunate person's net.
There are people who describe all of these globsters are a sort of cryptid species, but this is rather improbably since none of them look exactly the same at all.

Prendendo in mano una carta geografica ci accorgeremo dell’enorme distanza che separa i ritrovamenti dei globster presi sinora in esame.
Pensandoci bene esistono degli strani animali, piuttosto inerti, giallastri ed allungati, che analogamente al globster sono dotati di una cuticola esterna estremamente dura, fibrosa e resistente, presentano un buco, ed il cui sezionamento evidenzia uno scarso volume di viscere.
Le fibre di collagene erano composte da una serie di bande, quelle del globster sembravano simili a quelle presenti nella coda dei ratti, mentre nei resti di St. Augustine potevano essere riconducibili a quelle del grasso di balena, comunque sia erano molto differenti da quelle di un comune octopus.

 Giant Octopus - SKYGAZE - Interesting Facts, The Strange and Unexplained, Mysteries and Secrets
Where the Tasmanian "globster" (a word coined by zoologist/anomalist Ivan T. Sanderson) was concerned, scientists did investigate on site; the problem is that their pronouncements contradicted each other, and before the differences could be resolved, or even debated, all concerned dropped the matter.
In March 1965 a globster appeared on Muriwai Beach on the eastern shore of New Zealand's North Island.
Until more is known, we cannot state with certainty that globsters and the St. Augustine beast represent the same kind of animal or that this animal is the giant octopus.

 Welcome to the X-Entertainment Blog
Most often, globsters are found to be either the remains of a whale which had previously been brutalized, or in rarer cases, a squid or an octopus.
Squids in of themselves are typically a deep-sea creature, but the giant ones would likely be so far from the shore, it'd take a miracle for one of their dead to casually glide across the sea without being eaten before making it to the sand.
My favorite globster is the one this one guy found, it was long and sausage shaped and covered in tough, woolly white strands and when cut, the inside was like a yellow honeycomb.

 Dubious Globster
Since all of the bones in the shark's body are made out of cartilage, this gives rise to the impression that there are no bones in the body, and a further stage of decomposition may produce globster like animals.
Normally the skull of the shark retains it's shape since it is the hardest or densest cartilage in the body.
This globster was first seen by the inhabitants of a pueblo.

While they don't always lead to proof of legendary sea monsters, globster remains can provide evidence to support other natural wonders: one was found to be the remains of a giant octopus, a creature whose existence was previously debated.

When no skeleton is found, the globster could be what remains of a large octopus or squid.
Carcasses that have been pulled up by fishermen or washed on shore are most likely decomposing whales or sharks.
Laboratory tests or examinations can reliably identify these unknown remains found today if a sample is taken before the blobs are washed back out or dumped into the sea.
