For the first time in the past ten years, a living large whale strands in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. The International Whaling Commission speaks of a unique event.
A miracle is not happening. Timmy the whale, which was stranded on a shallow bay in the German island of Poel, remains in place. Experts have not recommended rescuing it with a catamaran that could pick it up from the bottom. According to experts, this would only harm the animal. And the problem arises even in the case when the suffering should be shortened and Timmy should be euthanized, writes the Bild newspaper.
While politicians have given up on the whale in the Baltic Sea, many activists are putting their faith in marine biologist Robert Marc Lehmann.
Experts believe that Baltic Sea whale Timmy is going to die. They're talking about him being sick. New drone shots now show a big scar.
A rescue of the Baltic whale is now excluded. Timmy will die before the island of Poel. But in the future one wants to be better prepared.
The condition of the fixed humpback whale in the Wismar bay has continued to deteriorate. The animal is no longer transportable, so a rescue can be ruled out, says Stephanie Groß from the Institute for Terrestrial and Aquatic Wildlife Research at a press conference.
