From Russia, without love 💔 A lone, harness-wearing whale - suspected of being trained as a spy by the Russian Navy - has reappeared off the coast of Sweden.
A beluga whale believes to have been trained by the Russian Navy has been spotted in Sweden
The strange behaviour of the whale, which was actively seeking out the vessels and trying to pull straps and ropes from the sides of the boats, caused concern among the fishermen, and upon closer inspection they discovered a camera mount and the words ‘Equipment St.Petersburg’ engraved onto its harness., who have been known to use marine creatures to conduct ‘special military operations’.
'We don't know why he has sped up so fast right now,' especially since he is moving 'very quickly away from his natural environment', Sebastian Strand, a marine biologist with the OneWhale organisation, told AFP. Believed to be 13-14 years old, Strand said the whale is 'at an age where his hormones are very high'.
