Till Backhaus, environment minister for the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania delivers a press statement on rescue efforts to save a humpback whale at the Baltic Sea coast near the island of Poel, near Wismar, northern Germany, on April 19, 2026. A private rescue attempt for the whale still goes on. The 13.5-metre (44-foot) humpback whale's ordeal first began in late March 2026 when it was spotted stuck on a sandbank near the city of Luebeck. It first freed itself only to become stuck again further east along the German coast. Earlier in April 2026 officials said they expected the animal to die, saying it had been too weakened by the odyssey to survive and make its way back to its natural habitat in the Atlantic. Coverage of the whale's struggle for survival and efforts to rescue it have gripped the German public, with some of the press calling the animal "Timmy". (Photo by Danny Gohlke / AFP)
