TL;DR Summary

A beluga whale, previously suspected of being used for espionage by the Russian navy, has been spotted near the Swedish coast. The whale, nicknamed Hvaldimir, was first seen in Norway wearing a camera harness. Biologists were able to remove the harness, and the whale has since been moving southward. It is speculated that the whale may be searching for a mate or companionship, as belugas are social creatures. Concerns have been raised about the whale's ability to catch food, as signs of weight loss have been identified.
