Seram Island last Tuesday, had guessed it could be a giant squid because it appeared to be covered in tentacles. But Alexander Werth, a whale biologist at Hampden- Sydney College in Virginia, and George Leonard, chief scientist at the Ocean Conservancy, said on Monday that it was almost certainly a baleen whale. The rotting remains of a giant sea creature that washed up on a remote Indonesian beach on Tuesday have been identified as a baleen whale. Two experts say distinctive jaw bones and what appears to be a feeding plate from the animal's mouth, used to filter food out of the water, gave its identity away The pair said bones protruding from the mass of rotting flesh and what appear to be feeding plates from the animal's mouth used to filter food led to their conclusions. Seram Island is also close to a migration route used by baleen whales, UPI reports.

The 'tentacles' are probably made from fatty blubber which has been torn into strips by scavenging predators, most likely sharks. Whale carcasses typically sink into the depths of the ocean after death, though under the right circumstances the body can fill with gases as it decomposes, allowing it to float. In such cases the body can then drift ashore, as seems to have happened in Indonesia. Locals who discovered the corpse last week had guessed that it could be a giant squid because of what appeared to be tentacles hanging off its body Researchers say warmer ocean waters could be making such events more common, as bacteria which feed on the corpse can spread more quickly. Residents have asked authorities to help remove the decaying remains. Earlier this year, a mysterious hairy sea monster was found on a beach in the Philippines. It baffled locals who speculated the two- tonne creature was a kind of rare undiscovered dugong. It was later identified as a whale - but had developed a strange appearance due to decomposition.

Baleen is the name given to a whole family of whales which encompasses several subspecies, including the humpback whale (pictured).
