The saga of Timmy the whale hasn’t ended with his tragic death. Timmy, a humpback whale, attracted international media attention when he became beached on a sandbank on Timmendorfer Beach in Germany.
Marine biologists said that sadly Timmy was beyond saving and that it’d be best for nature to take its course. But two millionaires stepped in with an extravagant $1.5 million plan that involved floating Timmy off the sandbank and into a water-filled barge, which was then transported to the open ocean.
