The Russian “Spy” Whale Is Acting Weird

Recently, a white whale was discovered in Norway and many believed it to be a Russian spy. If it really is, it is doing its job pretty well when it receives a lot of loves from the locals.

Jorgen Ree Wiig, an official with the Norwegian Bureau of Fisheries, said even when fishermen freed the whale, it still swims around the port city.

Not only did he not leave the city, but he also became a pet of the citizens in the city. It is always ready to quickly fetch the rings thrown into the water like dogs fetching balls for their owners. Moreover, the local can pet and rub this nose of this mammal. Wiig said this is a very strange and unusual activity compared to its species.

This friendly whale was thought to be a Russian spy because he had a belt carrying the words “Equipment of St. Petersburg”. However, the Russian military has completely denied it and this white whale does not belong to any military mission.

Colonel Viktor Baranets, Colonel of the Russian Army, told the BBC that in case this whale was a spy, would they actually give this animal a harness bearing with their names on it?

Wiig says it's not as important whether this white whale is a spy, all they want is to keep it healthy. That is why officials in Norway are still considering whether to bring it to Iceland's sanctuary.
