A young male humpback whale, approximately 10 meters long, is stranded on a sandbank off Niendorf beach in northern Germany. Rescuers are awaiting larger machinery to assist in the rescue, as previous attempts with a suction dredger were unsuccessful. The whale has been stuck since Monday, with its back visible above water. Marine conservationist Carsten Mannheimer expressed concern over the situation, noting that the whale likely got stuck while migrating. He hopes improved equipment will aid in the rescue efforts.
