GERMANY - Experts are happily reporting that "Bucki," the 40-foot humpback whale who has been wandering lost around the Baltic Sea since July, is safe. The whale has beaten the odds by making its way back in the direction of the Atlantic Ocean.
The drama has ended for the humpback whale that strayed into and has been wandering around the Baltic Sea since at least July, pleasing crowds but worrying environmentalists. According to news reports, the whale the media has named "Bucki" has made its way back to the North Sea and is presumably on its way to the ocean -- and a bit more food.
