"Hvaldimir the Beluga Whale: Spy or Innocent?"

TL;DR Summary
A beluga whale, nicknamed Hvaldimir, which was first spotted off Norway's coast wearing a camera harness, has been seen off the coast of Sweden. The whale was first sighted a few years ago, fuelling suspicions it was being used for espionage. The harness was removed by biologists, and the Norwegian Directorate of Fisheries speculated the whale had escaped from an enclosure where it was possibly trained by the Russian Navy. The whale has been moving south quicker than its normal pace, and marine biologists suggest it could be looking for a partner or other white whales to hang out with.
