The dead humpback whale floating in the water off the Danish coast is Timmy, who had previously been stranded in the Baltic Sea for several weeks. The environmental authority confirmed this to the broadcaster TV2.
Accordingly, a transmitter was found on the whale – the same transmitter that Timmy was equipped with before he was released into the wild. This is how the carcass was identified.
The transmitter was attached to the back and was recovered, it is said. Jane Hansen from the Environment Agency also says there are still no plans to recover the carcass. At the same time, she emphasizes that you should not approach the whale. This could cause you to become infected with diseases. (front)
