En død hval er fundet ud for den danske ø Anholt. Forskere undersøger, om der er tale om pukkelhvalen Timmy, der strandede ud for Poel i slutningen af april.
Simon Seebach opdagede hvalen torsdag morgen under en gåtur. Dyret, som er mellem ti og 15 meter langt, drev cirka 75 meter fra kysten.
En dykker tog vævsprøver fra halen. Prøven bliver sendt til Tyskland for at fastslå hvalens identitet.
Danske myndigheder antager, at der er tale om Timmy. Der er dog ikke fundet nogen sporingsenhed.
De første reaktioner på X viser en blanding af bekymring for pukkelhvalen Timmys mulige død, skepsis omkring hvorvidt kadaveret ved Anholt rent faktisk er ham, samt refleksioner over de følelsesladede redningsforsøg med opfordringer til fredelige udfald.

A dead humpback whale has washed up on the shore of the Danish island of Anholt. It is most likely the corpse of Horst the Whaletard - 200km south of where he was freed. He was making his way stubbornly back towards the Baltic.

**Nein, es handelt sich sehr wahrscheinlich nicht um denselben Wal.**

Vergleiche von Fotos (Rückenflosse, Hautzustand) und Berichte von Wal-Beobachtern zeigen klare Unterschiede: Der Kadaver vor Anholt hat eine andere Rückenflossen-Form und deutlich schlechteren Hautzustand als…
Obwohl es ein furchtbar trauriger Anblick ist.

Zu sehen wie der Wal da sanft in den Wellen schaukelt.
Ist das doch so viel friedlicher als die Höllenqualen vor Poel.
Wenn es 🐋 ist , hoffe ich er hatte noch ne schöne Zeit im Meer,
zu Hause.#Hope #Timmy #Buckelwal

The findings, detailed in a recent Scientific Reports study, provide vivid evidence of Neanderthal big-game hunting skills. The elephant, a prime male over 3.5 metres tall, shows clear cut marks from flint tools.
