Was a beloved whale suspected of being a Russian ‘spy’ killed in Norway?
Fox News
A beluga whale who was discovered off the coast of Norway in 2019 wearing a harness and camera mount quickly became beloved in the country. He was found dead last weekend.
Hvaldimir, as Norwegians dubbed him – mixing together the Norwegian word for whale and Russian President Vladimir Putin’s name – was intelligent, friendly and responded to hand signals, leading Norway's spy agency to believe he had been held in captivity by Russia and used for research purposes.
Once Hvaldimir was freed from his harness, though, his friendly personality made him beloved in the country.
