रूस की जासूस मानी जाने वाली व्हेल की मौत: नॉर्वे में शव मिला, डॉल्फिन की तरह इंसानों के साथ खेलती थी

Hvaldimir Whale, believed to be a Russian spy, died near Norway. The cause of death is not yet known.

The white beluga whale ‘Hvaldimir’, believed to be a Russian spy, has died. According to the BBC, on August 31, a father and son who went fishing in Norway’s Risvika Bay found the whale’s carcass floating.

This 14 feet long whale was about 15 years old. Its weight was 1,225 kg. Its body was removed with a crane. The cause of death is not known yet but it is suspected that it may have died due to a collision with a big boat. However, no injury marks have been found on its body.

The Hwaldimir whale has been sent for postmortem. The world first came to know about it in 2019. It was seen on the coast of Ingoya Island in Norway, 415 km from Russia. Beluga whales are not found in this area, so it began to be monitored.

Hvaldimir was first seen in Norway in April 2019. It had a collar around its neck.

The name on the lease was St. Petersburg. It is the second most populous city in Russia after Moscow.

Whale named after Putin
On closer inspection of the whale, a strap was seen around its neck. Along with cameras, machines were also attached to its body on which the name of the Russian city St. Petersburg was written. The Russian Navy is known to train whales. This is the reason why it is considered to be Russia’s spy whale.

Western media claimed that Hwaldimir was part of a Russian project to turn animals into spies. However, Russia never accepted it. Whales are called Hval in Norway. After this, by combining the name of Hval and the Russian President, it started being called Hvaldimir spy whale on social media.

Beluga whales usually live in the cold Arctic Ocean. But Hvaldimir lived easily among humans. He played with humans like a dolphin.

Experts speculate that Hvaldimir may have spent a lot of time in human captivity and may have become accustomed to living with humans.

Hvaldimir mingled with the Norwegian people. She even reacted to hand gestures.

Hvaldimir was calm by nature, used to play with humans
Marine Mind, a Norwegian NGO that protects Hvaldimir, said that he had been seen in many coastal areas over the past few years. We soon realized that he was very calm. He loved to play with people. He also reacted to hand gestures.

The NGO said that Hvaldimir loved to play with people. He was loved by thousands of people in Norway. His death is heartbreaking. Marine Mind said that we saw her for the last time on Friday, a day before her death. She looked normal then. That is why we want to know the reason for her death.

Hvaldimir’s death has come much before time. Generally, the average lifespan of a beluga whale is considered to be 60 years. However, no marks of injury have been found on his body.
