It's April 1st, Canada news today starts now, AI-powered and ready. Rescuers of Germany's Baltic Seacos have called off efforts to save a humpback whale that stranded multiple times. The 10-12 meter creature got stuck again, Tuesday in a shallow inlet on Pol island near Wismar. They pulled it free last week from even shallower waters at Timindorfer Strand, about 50 kilometers away, using an excavator but had just kept, struggling back into trouble. Earlier this week, the team tried a hands-off approach, giving the exhausted whale quiet time to build strength and nudging it with boats to swim out. On its own, but now it's breathing irregularly, barely moving, and drone shots show no real activity under its massive body. Germans have been glued to this story, with media dropping constant updates and dubbing the whale Timmy during its coastal saga. The whole nation's hooked on every twist in this unlikely visitor's fight. It's like Burkard Boszek, from Ocean Museum Germany, say the whales way too weak this

time, facing dropping water levels with slim odds of breaking. Free. First by the March 3rd, it wandered far from home into the Baltic, maybe chasing herring or lost on migration. With prospects dim, the call is to let nature take its course, respecting the whale's final moments in that inland.
