Has the world gone totally fucking apeshit? Folk out there saying ‘the Russian spy whale was assassinated’.
Folk have way too much time on their hands.
Beloved ‘Russian spy whale’ found dead under mysterious circumstances.
Hvaldimir, a beluga whale believed to have escaped a life as a Russian spy, was found dead near Stavanger, Norway. Discovered in 2019 with a camera harness labelled “Equipment St. Petersburg,” Hvaldimir gained international fame for his friendly nature, often interacting with people.
Despite efforts to relocate him to safety, his death, described by the group OneWhale as unnatural, has sparked concerns. A necropsy will determine the cause, as theories of foul play and tributes flood social media. Hvaldimir was estimated to be just 15 years old.
