A Russian 'spy whale' is having too much fun to leave Norway and is in no hurry to swim back to Mother Russia
LONDON — This suspected Russian spy is having a whale of a time in Norway.
"The whale was really friendly and came up to us and started opening its mouth, and just checking us out," said Jorgen Ree Wiig, an official with the Norwegian Directorate of Fisheries."We were trying to talk to it." Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a small GoPro camera attached to the harness, marked with the words “Equipment St Petersburg,”More likely, Wiig theorized, this whale is from a notorious whale operation in Siberia that once trapped massive maritime mammals for sale to aquariums. That so-called"whale jail" has since been disbanded with its operators haphazardly dumping evidence.
"Yeah, and it was gonna be like prosecuted by the Russian government. So this whale might also be, like somebody had it in a containment and they got afraid and just let it loose because they didn’t want to be prosecuted."
