Timmy, a supposedly dead whale, was found off the coast of Denmark
A dead humpback whale has been discovered off the coast of the Danish island of Anholt, which may be Timmy's whale, which was previously stuck in shallow waters in German waters. The Berliner Zeitung writes about this on May 15.
"Both the German and Danish researchers with whom I spoke believe that this is most likely Timmy the humpback whale," said Morten Abildstrom, an employee of the Danish nature protection agency.
The agency issued a strict warning to local residents about the prohibition of approaching the animal. They explained that the whale's body can become a source of diseases that are dangerous for humans. In addition, there is a risk of explosion due to the accumulation of gases inside the carcass.
Der Spiegel magazine reported on May 5 that Timmy the humpback whale, previously stuck in shallow waters off the coast of Germany, is probably dead. Experts noted that data on the whale's condition and location had not been received since its release into the North Sea on May 2. Then it was clarified that the animal's ability to swim and dive normally remains questionable after a long stay in shallow water.
