"Timmy was first spotted near Germany's Baltic Sea coast on March 3. He repeatedly got stuck in shallow waters, despite efforts to encourage him back to the deeper sea."
"The International Whaling Commission said in April that with each stranding causing additional harm, the chances of survival had become negligible."
"Karin Walter-Mommert, one of the private financiers of the operation, said the whale appeared to be swimming freely and in the right direction upon his release."
Timmy, a humpback whale calf, was repeatedly stranded off the coast of Germany, causing public concern and media attention. After his health deteriorated, a rescue operation transported him in a water-filled barge and released him off Denmark. Karin Walter-Mommert, a financier of the operation, reported that Timmy appeared to swim freely after his release. Initially spotted on March 3, Timmy struggled in shallow waters, leading to debates about whether to save him or let him die peacefully. His condition worsened due to the Baltic Sea's low salt content.
