""It could now get on its way if it wanted to," said Till Backhaus, the regional environment minister, indicating the whale had a chance to escape its predicament."
""Monday could prove a decisive day in the stranding," warned Professor Burkhard Baschek, emphasizing the whale's need to free itself with limited external assistance."
""It's not making any more noises. This lack of movement and reaction to our presence shows that it's simply very weak and getting weaker," stated Greenpeace's Franziska Saalmann."
A humpback whale stranded in the Baltic Sea for over a week started swimming again on Monday evening. Water levels rose, allowing the whale a chance to free itself. Environmental officials noted it was uncertain which direction the whale was heading. Experts indicated that the whale's ability to escape was largely dependent on its own strength, as it had shown limited movement and responsiveness. Observers reported the whale appeared weak and less reactive to stimuli, raising concerns about its health.
