The humpback nicknamed Timmy was transported by barge from Germany and released into the North Sea off Denmark Saturday after weeks of rescue efforts. Timmy had been struggling to survive after beaching near the German coast and was kept on a barge under a protective net during the transfer. Rescue teams warned the whale still faces risks and said authorities will monitor its movements to see whether it rejoins normal humpback migration routes.
