Researchers puzzled: Russian whale-spy Galdimir unexpectedly inflow to Sweden
Now the marine animal has been noticed again near the shores of Sweden. About it reports The Guardian. For the first time, this White was noticed in the remote Norwegian region of Finnmark, he spent three years, swimming near the Norwegian coastline, but in recent months he found himself near Sweden. Last Sunday, he was noticed near Hunnobosrand, near the southwestern coast of the country.
"We do not know why he has accelerated so quickly now," said Sebastian Strand, a marine biologist from Onewhale. He also added that most of them raise the question of why the whale "moved away from its natural environment very quickly. " It is suggested that hormones force him to look for a female, or the whole thing is alone, since Belukhs are social animals. It is believed that the age of this whale is 13-14 years, at this age the level of hormones is very high.
The closest Belukh population is located in the Svalbard Archipelago - between the North Coast of Norway and the North Pole. He is believed that he has not met his relatives since he found himself in Norway in April 2019. The Norwegians called him a praisemir - the name of the Russian President was combined with the Norwegian "praise", that is, the whale.
Norwegian marine biologists have removed it with a collar with a mounting for an action chamber, which could be attached to the Russian Federation. It was suggested that Khavdidir could escape from the place where he was kept, and perhaps he was taught by the Russian army because he was not afraid of people. The Russian Federation has never commented on Norway's statements that a whale could be a "Russian spy".
