Timmy the whale released

A humpback whale nicknamed 'Timmy,' who had been stranded in shallow German waters for weeks, has been successfully released into the North Sea.

The rescue mission involved transporting the whale in a specialized barge to deeper waters off the coast of Denmark.

Experts from several nations coordinated the complex relocation effort to ensure the animal's safety.

While Timmy was seen swimming free, biologists warn that his long-term survival remains uncertain after the ordeal.
