A rescue team on Saturday (May 2, 2026) released from a barge in the North Sea a humpback whale that had been stranded in shallow waters near Germany since March, witnesses said.
Nicknamed ‘Timmy’ by German media, the whale was spotted swimming near Germany’s Baltic Sea coast on March 3, far from its natural habitat in the Atlantic Ocean.
