    A #whale stranded in #Germany #Deutschland and people are trying to save #Timmy the #humpbackWhale by barging it to the #NorthSea

    Nice feel good story, right?

    No

    The effort is funded by a #rightWing agenda

    What?

    It's a political trap

    If the left reacts sour, the average German gets angry at that and it's a right wing win

    By using plutocrat money, and capturing the popular imagination, the right is creating political-emotional theater

    The left must react carefully

  7. CW: Update 12:45 Uhr - 15 Tonnen schieben und ziehen. Der Buckelwal ist gedreht in Richtung ausgebaggerte Rinne. Im ALT stehen die Uhrzeiten die Wal und bis zu 20 Mann für die Teildrehungen benötigt haben.
  8. CW: 🧵 21/x - Heute soll der Wal in die Barge schwimmen

    9:11 Uhr:
    Wal ist nach Gesundheitskontrolle am Morgen transportfähig, Bergung beginnt
    10:07 Uhr:
    Die Helfer sind unterwegs zum Buckelwal. Der klingt im Livestream heute anders, als ob er ahnt das da heute etwas sehr wichtiges für sein Leben passiert.
    Wetterprognose ist übrigens gut. Still ruht die Kirchsee.

  10. 🧵 The humpback did not take the exit into Wismar Bay. It kept floating in shallow water.
    People were frantically digging a tube in the sand - because normal sea level is 50 cm at this spot. Now the 160 cm high whale is floating in a tube.

  11. CW: 🧵 15/15 Update 20.04.2026 (8 pm)

    When I opened the livestream this morning and the whale was swimming ❤️ I had the impression it was playing with the boats ‘You try to block me, well I dive underneath you. I go north.’

    The #humpback was very fast swimming (9-13 kmh) and up to 8 boats and jet sky tried to guide him south.

    Now it is floating near the entrance to Kirchsee and everybody hopes that ‘Hope‘ will take the exit into Wismar Bay tonight.

  12. Humpback is swimming. (Screenshot 7:53 am, 20.04.2026)
    He seems to insist going north. But has to go south first to not get stuck again.

    Rescue was canceled yesterday because of very high tide. Today it is stormy and still high tide. That's the reason why he could swim free.

  13. Time running out for stranded humpback whale ‘Timmy’

    Time is running out for a young humpback whale named Timmy as it continued struggling to find its way out of shallow bays off the Baltic coast of Germany, after a week-long ordeal that has put its survival in doubt. #humpbackwhale #balticsea #germany #News #Reuters #Newsfeed Read the story here: 👉 Subscribe: Keep up with the latest news from around the world: Follow Reuters on Facebook: Follow Reuters on X: Follow…

  14. #GoodNews for the moment, after a dramatic struggle (it's not yet sure if the ill whale will recover and find a place in the North Atlantic) theguardian.com/world/2026/mar

    Even if it's only a first success, it shows: these people helping a #whale are among the real heroes in our world. These are people who try to make our world a better place to live in; they strive and work together.

  15. Whales and Dolphins (Marine Animals by Panini), Part 1

    So after spending so long on a single company, reviewing in-depth every figure by Replica Toy Fish…why not work on a (nearly) entire series from a different company!? This time, I’m going to work through the marine figures produced by Italian company Panini. I will be approaching it differently–the figures are very small, and very stylized, so a relatively brief overview will be more […]

  18. Only #HumpbackWhale is capable of #bubblenet feeding, study finds
    In a surprising discovery, a new study reveals that among seven species of #baleen #whales, only the humpback is capable of the high-performance turns required for its signature bubble-net feeding strategy.
    The research shows #humpbacks use their unique pectoral flippers to achieve this maneuver, shedding new light on the biomechanics of this iconic feeding strategy.

  19. For #WorldOceanDay I thought I would share a print with both a vertebrate and invertebrate ocean species. This linocut and gel plate print shows the humpback whale swimming above and a close up of the whale below with six Coronula diadema barnacles.

    The Coronula diadema name comes from its barrel and crown-like shape, which can grow to 5 cm (2”) tall and 6 cm (2.4”) in diameter. 🧵

  20. Study finds #whale sounds stir tourists' desire to do more for the environment.

    A study has found #humpbackwhale #encounters may influence people #watching from the surface.

    The study examined the role of sound, including whale #vocalisations & #finslaps, in shaping visitor experiences. #auspol
