RIP Hvaldimir: Video tribute to ‘top-secret spy whale from classified Russian naval program’

A friendly beluga whale known as Hvaldimir - a portmanteau of “hval” (Norwegian for “whale” and Vladimir) who inadvertently managed to spark a spy craze in Norway a few years ago has passed away, its body found floating off the Norwegian coast this weekend.

When first spotted in the waters near Hammerfest in 2019, the whale was wearing a harness with a label reading "Equipment of St. Petersburg," which led some brilliant minds in Norwegian military and media circles to claim that the creature could have been some Russian intelligence asset.

Apparently, this is how a super-secret Russian Navy spy whale looked like (see the video for reference).
