A dead whale has been found in Denmark; it may be the famous humpback whale Timmy — Bild
A dead young humpback whale has been found on the coast of Denmark; it is believed to be the same whale nicknamed Timmy, whose fate has been closely followed across Europe in recent weeks.
This was reported by Bild.
The young humpback whale had repeatedly become stranded in shallow waters in the Baltic Sea, attracting widespread attention from the public and rescue workers.
Experts had previously attempted to help the animal return closer to the North Sea.
Now, Danish authorities plan to conduct an examination to definitively confirm whether the whale found is indeed Timmy.
In Germany, it is speculated that the humpback whale, whose rescue was followed by the entire country, may have died, though there is no official confirmation at this time.
In Washington State, USA, a young gray whale was found dead after swimming more than 30 km up the Willapa River.
