A large humpback whale is dead. People called the whale "Timmy." On Saturday, workers brought the whale's body to a beach in Denmark. They used a big truck and a strong cable to move it. The whale was found near a small island called Anholt. It was in shallow water for two weeks before it died.
The story of Timmy began in March. People first saw the whale near the coast of Germany. Many people in Europe followed the news. The media gave the whale many names, like "Timmy" or "Hope." People wanted to help the whale go back to the big ocean.
In May, experts tried to save the whale. They used a large boat called a barge. They wanted to move the whale from the Baltic Sea to the North Sea. This was a very difficult job. Unfortunately, the rescue did not work. The whale died and was found near the island on May 14.
Now, scientists want to know why the whale died. They think the whale might have lost its way. Maybe it was following a group of fish. Next week, experts will examine the whale's body. They want to know if the whale was sick or if the rescue attempt caused the death. This study will help people understand how whales move in the sea. The mystery of Timmy is now a scientific study.
