And other stories from the stranger side of life
A whale that was accused of being a Russian spy in 2019 has reappeared, said The Times. The beluga whale was first spotted in Norway in 2019, and spent more than three years moving down the top half of the Norwegian coastline before moving on to Sweden in recent months. When it first appeared four years ago, marine biologists from the Norwegian directorate of fisheries removed a harness, which had a mount suited for an action camera and the words “Equipment St Petersburg” printed on it.
