Dead humpback whale brought to shore in Denmark with autopsy set next week

The carcass of a humpback whale has been dragged onto a Danish beach after two weeks of the body languishing in shallow waters. The whale had gained the nicknames “Timmy” and “Hope” as German media outlets sent push alerts and updated live blogs with the status of its health since it was first spotted off the German coast on March 3. It was dragged Saturday onto a beach of the small island of Anholt in the Kattegat, the broad strait between Denmark and Sweden that connects the Baltic Sea to the North Sea. The carcass will be examined next week.
