A humpback whale is stranded again in Germany after it was freed near a Baltic resort last week. The complicated and delicate efforts to rescue the 12-15 metre whale off a sandbank earlier captivated Germans, with media sending news alerts of updates on its progress and streaming live video from the scene. The whale swam through a man-made escape channel on Friday, but it was spotted the next day near the coastal town of Wismar. The marine mammal is unlikely to survive in the Baltic Sea long-term, as the salt concentration of the sea is not high enough, and the creature has already developed a skin disease. It also won't be able to find the right kind of nutrition it needs.
