A huge, smooth, pink, severed flesh-tentacle-thing found on a quiet island beach in Australia has drawn speculation over what kind of animal it is.

The "giant random animal part" was found and filmed by a TikTok user and has since been viewed millions of times.

"It is huge!" I have that foot. The size of my leg is similar. Is that true? It's disgusting. Gregory exclaimed in the video while he was on an island off the coast.

Replying to @Dave as requested guys- here is a better video. What do you think it is? #australia #northqueensland #fyp

We do not know what the meter and a half of dismembered flesh is.

She told Newsweek that it could be any part of a random marine animal. She admits that it's shape, size and overall resemblances do look like a whale's wang.

Sexual selection has held on to the bones of cetacean skeletons in order to give them strength in their penis. The marine mammals have more control over their penis's flailing because of this.

The dexterous movement has been suggested as an explanation for a legendary sea serpents appearance. A group of whales were attacked by a sea serpent in 1875.

There's no reason to believe that all serpents are the result of whale flashings.

Few of us are used to seeing such sights on tropical beaches so can be excused for stopping and looking.

Being the largest animal known to have existed, blue whales have the largest penises in the animal kingdom with an average length of about 2.5 to 3 meters. If a penis is what we're looking at on that beach, it's probably a Humpback whale, as they're currently in theQueensland waters to breed.

Humpback whales have long been studied to learn more about their sex lives. The length of a whale's penis can be used as an indicator of how sexually mature the animal is according to research done in 1955.

13 instances of whale erections were captured on film in 2002. During male contests for dominance, the majority of penis extrusions took place. The baleen whales don't have teeth, so a rival or lover wouldn't have been able to ruin a whale's erection.

Lone men can extend themselves while singing. The recent discovery on the Australian beach may have been the result of a lonely male who had the misfortune of performing a sexy song near an orca.

It will remain a mystery how this giant chunk of severed ocean flesh came to be in its current resting place, or what it actually belongs to.

The opportunity for people to learn more about whale reproduction or other juicy components of animals that might wash ashore is what it provides.

We don't know what the member is, but I can see why people are interested.
