Summary
In 2019, a beluga whale wearing a “Equipment St Petersburg” harness appeared off Norway, sparking rumors of it being a Russian “spy whale.”
Nicknamed Hvaldimir, the social whale showed signs of prior training. Dr. Olga Shpak, a marine expert, believes Hvaldimir—formerly called Andruha—likely escaped from a Russian Arctic military base where it was trained to guard, not spy.
In September 2024, Hvaldimir was found dead, apparently from a stick lodged in its body.
That whale better watch out, they might throw him off a balcony
It’s too late, they already got him. Must’ve hit a tree on the way down.
The poor whale shot itself in the back of the head twice before jumping off the roof of a 20 storey building. As it’s tradition with those who have offended Putin.
