A humpback whale that was stranded on Germany’s Baltic coast has been coaxed into a water-filled barge which rescuers hope will allow its release into deeper waters and save its life.
In a last-ditch attempt to save “Timmy” from a sandbank near the northern city of Lübeck, where it became beached four weeks ago, rescuers guided the juvenile male onto the barge, which is typically used to transport ships.
