"Beluga whales are said to be friendly, social animals which often travel in groups. They are known for their varied methods of communication with a 'language' made up of whistles, chirps and clicks, earning them the nickname 'canaries of the sea.'"
"Beluga whales can grow up to six meters long and can weigh over a ton. They are normally found in sub-arctic regions like Greenland and Norway, but it's not the first time that a Beluga whale has been spotted in southern Denmark."
"According to Danish whale researcher Carl Christian Kinze, Beluga whales like coastal areas and this particular individual will likely find its own way back out into more open waters."
"Unfortunately, the same couldn't be said for 'Timmy' the humpback whale which has been repeatedly stranding, freeing and stranding itself again off Germany's northeastern coast for the past month."
A white Beluga whale was spotted in the Flensburg Firth, which separates Germany and Denmark. Initially seen near Arosund, it traveled south past Als Island. Beluga whales are social animals known for their communication through whistles and clicks. They typically inhabit sub-arctic regions but have been sighted in southern Denmark before. This whale is expected to return to open waters. In contrast, a humpback whale named 'Timmy' has been stranding repeatedly off Germany's coast and will be left to die peacefully.
