A beluga whale has raised suspicions of being a spy for the Russian government as it ventures into the waters of Sweden, as reported by OneWhale.

The whale, known as Hvaldimir, garnered global attention in 2019 when it was spotted donning a specially designed harness equipped with a camera, leading experts to speculate that the animal may have undergone military training under Russian auspices.

“After traversing the Norwegian coastline for four years, Hvaldimir has now made its way into the waters of Sweden,” stated OneWhale on Monday (May 31).
