TwinIon Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Last week fishermen in Norway observed a Beluga whale actively seeking out their boats. They noticed that the whale had a harness on and notified authorities. The harness was removed and examined and found to contain an inscription reading "Equipment of St. Petersburg" as well as what appeared to be a GoPro mount. It's expected that the whale is part of a Russian program to use various sea mammals to guard entrances to naval bases, assist deepwater divers, or kill strangers in their territory. The Guardian notes that Dolphins and seals have far better memories and seem to be better suited to the work, and that the Beluga whales "did not have the same “high professionalism.”" Over the last week, it seems that the whale has decided to stay in Norway. It has only moved 25 miles and seems to be enjoying its proximity to humans, an unusual behavior for the species. The Norwegians, who do not have the same experience the US Navy has with training sea mammals for military purposes, are unsure what to do with their new defector. One option is to transport the animal to a sanctuary in Iceland in an effort to increase the whale's survival chances. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nokra Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 I must admit to being very tempted to create a new thread with the title "Russian Spy Whale Has Defecated" and then in the topic just post one of Trump's tweets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
