A young humpback whale, nicknamed Timmy or Hope, has stranded in shallow waters off the Baltic coast in Germany. The 10-metre-long whale has drawn attention, but the International Whaling Commission (IWC) has criticized rescue attempts as 'inadvisable'.
The IWC warns that rescue operations could stress the whale and endanger both the animal and humans. Experts recommend monitoring the situation rather than intervening directly.
Local authorities are coordinating with marine biologists to assess the whale's condition. The whale remains in the area, and officials urge the public to keep a safe distance.
