'It's doing badly': Fears grow for whale stuck off Germany's coast
Marine scientists in Germany are increasingly worried about a whale that managed to free itself from a sandbank, only to run aground again in shallow waters, as local experts say the mammal's prospects of survival are now worsening. The humpback whale's condition has deteriorated significantly in the past 24 hours, Burkard Baschek, director of the German Oceanographic Museum, said at a press conference in the coastal city of Wismar on Sunday.
