Dead beluga whale found on Norwegian coast. It was once suspected of being a spy

Recently, an event that has attracted widespread attention occurred on the Norwegian coast. On August 31, the body of a beluga whale was found by a father and son who were fishing in Risavika Bay in southern Norway. Subsequently, the beluga whale was lifted out of the water by a crane and sent to a nearby port where experts conducted an autopsy on it.

This beluga whale is about 4.2 meters long and weighs about 1,225 kilograms. It is estimated to be 14 to 15 years old. For beluga whales that can live up to 60 years old, it is still relatively young. It was first discovered in northern Norway in the spring of 2019. At that time, it was wearing a bracket that can install a sports camera and a strap marked "St. Petersburg equipment". Therefore, some people speculated that it may have received spy training from the Russian navy and is a "spy whale", but the Russian authorities have never responded to or commented on such assumptions. In the next five years, it has been seen in several coastal towns in Norway. It has a mild temperament, shows interest in humans, and responds to gesture signals. Some media also speculated that it is some kind of "therapy whale" and may be used in Russia to treat diseases such as children's emotional disorders.

In the past three years, the Norwegian-based nonprofit organization "Heart of the Ocean" has been tracking and monitoring the activities of this beluga whale. According to Sebastian Strand, the founder of the organization, when he saw this beluga whale on August 30, it was still in good condition. However, the autopsy results showed that there were no obvious major external injuries on the beluga whale. At present, the exact cause of death is still unknown. Experts will conduct further in-depth investigations to determine the cause of death.

The death of this beluga whale has attracted widespread attention from the international community. The mystery of its origin and the cause of its death have become the focus of people's attention. All parties are looking forward to the final investigation results to solve the mystery behind this mysterious event. At the same time, this has once again triggered people's thinking about the protection of marine life and the impact of human activities on the marine environment.
