He said that the dead whale found off the coast of Denmark is a humpback whale named Timmy.
Consensus
- A dead whale was found on the shore of the Danish island of Anholt.
- Genetic analysis showed that the DNA profile of the deceased whale did not match that of Timmi, a humpback whale tracked in the North Sea.
- The whale found had a satellite tracker attached to it, which previously belonged to Timmi.
- Timmi was last seen stranded on shallow waters off Germany's Baltic coast in late March and was eventually rescued in May.
- After rescue, signals from Timmi’s tracker ceased, leading to speculation about its fate.
