Timmy (whale)

Timmy (died May 2026), also known as Hope, was a humpback whale who strayed into the Baltic Sea in March 2026, and became stranded at the German coast several times, before he was loaded onto a barge and released in the North Sea on 2 May 2026. The whale sparked a media frenzy. He was named after Timmendorfer Strand. Timmy is thought to have died shortly after his release. His remains were found near the Danish island of Anholt two weeks later.
