After sifting through a stack of Japanese research papers from the last 18 years, Australian scientists discovered something a bit off.

Apparently, some strange experiments have been going on within Japan’s whaling community, where they attempted to create test-tube whales. The most bizarre of these entailed trying to create a new cross-breed by injecting minke whale sperm into cows eggs. Perhaps they were trying to create a new money maker for Japanese-style steak houses across the world: 5-ton teriyaki.
