Footage caught sea waves hitting the farm animal as it lay dead in the shallows.

A man standing on the sand called the authorities to alert them and ask them to remove the carcass.

But no one arrived to remove the cow's swollen body which was then seen floating in the sea.

It is believed the cow’s body ballooned due to the build-up of gases after the animal died.

“But never in my life have I come across a dead cow.

“This is, to say the least, absolutely unbelievable.

“Well then, little one, rest in peace.”

The black spheres have been putting off scientists with their stench ever since they were first discovered.

And the answer behind the befuddling balls that have been washing up on Sydney's beaches has repulsed locals.

They are actually made up of everything from human faeces, to recreational drugs and medication.

John also confirmed that the stench of the mysterious objects was "extremely unpleasant".

He said: "I don’t know if it’s come from our local sewer system, or if it’s been discharged from a boat, or if it’s been washed from the sewers into the stormwater, or some other origin that we really don’t know.

"It seems they haven’t come from many different locations, they’re consistent with all coming from one location at one time.
