Scientists say that the deepest parts of our ocean are as mysterious as space and many of the creatures residing in the darkness of the abyss have yet to be discovered by scientists. Occasionally, the ocean decides to surprise us by spewing up one of these rare and mysterious creatures onto the beach so we can puzzle over it. A carcass of one such mysterious giant creature appeared on the shore of Seram Island in Indonesia's Maluku province on Friday, raising the eyebrows of residents and local authorities alike. The bloodied carcass, which is about 50 feet long and 23 feet wide, is speculated to be a giant squid that had died a few days before its discovery. The US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association writes that humanity has only explored about 5 percent of the world's oceans and that up to 95 percent has never been seen by human eyes. Creatures living in the depth of the oceans can be mysterious and even grotesque, taking very uncommon shapes and sizes. Despite the buzz created by the mysterious mass, the island’s residents are now urging the authorities to remove the remains as they began to rot.

Rescuers had rushed to save the group of Rohingya after they spotted them in the water, stranded and holding onto an overturned boat off the coast of western Aceh province. IMAGES
