TL;DR Summary

A dead humpback whale named Timmy, found off Anholt in Denmark, is at risk of exploding as gases build up during decomposition. Danish authorities and the coastal rescue service plan to tow the carcass into deeper waters and away from shore, a dangerous operation that could prevent a rupture near the coast; the whale is slated for a post-mortem in Grenaa after the recovery move.
