Norway finds 'Russian spy whale' off Arctic coast

A beluga whale found off Norway's coast wearing a special Russian harness was probably trained by the Russian navy, a Norwegian expert says.

Marine biologist Prof Audun Rikardsen said the harness had a GoPro camera holder and a label sourcing it to St Petersburg. A Norwegian fisherman managed to remove it from the whale.

He said a Russian fellow scientist had told him that it was not the sort of kit that Russian scientists would use.

How long until the Democrats blame it on Donald Trump?

"The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn

There's a video at the source article.
The whale seemed very friendly, wanted human contact.
It may have been raised in captivity...

Did This Beluga Whale Escape From A Russian Navy Training Program?

Fisherman in Norway found the white whale wearing an unusual harness marked "Equipment" and "St. Petersburg."
By Joseph TrevithickApril 29, 2019


Last week, Norwegian fishermen freed a beluga from an unusual harness with markings suggesting it had originated in St. Petersburg, Russia, prompting speculation that the Kremlin has been training these whales for military purposes in the Arctic region. The incident comes at a time when tensions between the Norway and Russia are particularly high, with Norwegian authorities having criticized their Russian counterparts multiple times in recent years over GPS jamming and conducting mock air strikes on a sensitive radar facility in Norway.

Worst of all, it’s had to debase itself, by swimming with Paul Erickson.
