Thank you for visiting Taiwan's Exploding Whale Website (TEWW). In Taiwan unusual and special things often happen and this Lunar New Years holiday was certainly no disappointment for the people of Taiwan! On January 24th 2004 ---2 days into the Chinese Lunar New Year of the Monkey a very unusual thing happened. A dead whale was found on a beach in Southern Taiwan. People decided to transport it to a local University to be stuffed. It was loaded up on a large truck with the use of cranes and during transport on the road it suddenly exploded!!!
Spewing it's innards all over the surrounding area. This could be a very unauspicious sign for the entry of the Year of the Monkey but there are also those who believe it to be a plot by the communists to place negative news about Taiwan. A similar occurance in Oregon (see sister site below in links)happened some years ago , however this was engineered by humans with the use of explosives. As far as I am aware--Taiwan's Exploding Sperm Whale is the first such natural occurance--at least on land while under transport through a village.

A worker hoses down the street after the whale literally "spilled it's guts" .
