Burial whales bloody red bubbles

The unusual frothy beach phenomenon in the Samoa Islands attracts the attention of many visitors and local residents.

The strange crater constantly bubbles and spews bloody red liquid on the sand surface.

Footage recorded by David Little on October 27 while walking on a beach of the Samoa Islands, south of the Pacific Ocean, showcased strange craters constantly bubbling and spewing red liquid dark as blood on the sand surface. The surrounding air is also described as having a pretty strong odor.

According to local reports, the phenomenon originates from a decaying whale carcass . Three days earlier, a nine-meter-long humpback whale died from a beach run. The location recorded in the video is where the giant animal's body is buried.

Justin Viezbicke, an expert from the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), said the process of decomposing whale carcass often produces huge amounts of gas and liquid. Bubbling on the surface of a landfill can last for weeks, even months.
