Upon thorough examination, experts have definitively asserted that neither Norway, Denmark, or Greenland employs harnesses of this nature for beluga whale research initiatives. The presence of the Russian-made harness, coupled with the remarkably affable conduct of the mammal, has elicited heightened suspicion within the scientific community. Speculation is rife that the beluga whale may have undergone specialized training by the Russian navy, introducing intriguing possibilities regarding its potential involvement in espionage activities.

Though the reason behind the mammal wearing a harness remains somewhat unclear, the endearing “Russian spy” beluga whale found itself back in the limelight. Beyond its friendliness, the beluga whale has proven to be remarkably well-mannered. Just a few days ago, Isa Opdahl experienced a mishap while out on the water in her boat.

After placing her phone in her pocket, the young woman experienced a slip, and the device went overboard, plunging into the ocean. Just as she resigned herself to the loss, she was astonished to see the infamous beluga whale swimming towards her, carrying her phone in its mouth.

Approaching close enough for the young woman to retrieve her phone, the whale provided a captivating moment, skillfully documented by one of her friends on camera. The video of the beluga whale’s clever rescue quickly went viral on social media, leaving many in awe of its intelligence. Presently, the courteous whale continues to linger around the Hammerfest area, captivating the attention of those who encounter its remarkable behavior.
