“This is a tame animal that is used to get food served so that is why it has made contacts with the fishermen.”
COPENHAGEN — A beluga whale found with a tight harness that appeared to be Russian made has raised the alarm of Norwegian officials and prompted speculation that the animal may have escaped from a Russian military facility.
He said Monday fishermen in Arctic Norway last week reported the tame white cetacean with a tight harness swimming around. On Friday, fisherman Joar Hesten, aided by the Ree Wiig, jumped into the frigid water to remove the harness. Rikardsen said he had checked with scholars in Russia and Norway and said they have not reported any program or experiments using beluga whales.
