The whale died after becoming beached
A dead sperm whale has exploded while being delivered to a research centre near the southwestern city of Tainan.
Passers-by and cars were soaked in blood and body parts were sprayed over a road after the bursting of the whale, which was being carried on a trailer.
A marine biologist blamed the explosion on pressure from gases building up in the mammal as it began to decompose.
Residents and shop owners wore masks while trying to clean up the spilt blood and entrails.
