German rescuers on Tuesday hauled a stranded humpback whale into a special boat due to carry it to deeper waters, in the latest attempt to free the mammal whose ordeal has captured the imagination of Germany for weeks.
The whale, dubbed "Timmy" by German media, and its struggle for survival have gripped the country since it beached on a sandbank near the city of Lübeck, far from its natural habitat in late March.
