Norway urges public to steer clear of 'spy' whale for its safety.
TL;DR
Norway's Directorate of Fisheries has urged people and boaters to avoid contact with a harness-wearing beluga whale, dubbed the "spy" whale, recently spotted in a fjord near Oslo. The whale is known to follow boats and is a protected species in Norway. The harness has prompted many theories, including that the whale escaped a Russian naval base in the Murmansk region and had been "trained to spy" on Norway. The Directorate of Fisheries is rejecting the idea of capturing the whale and putting it behind barriers, and promised to monitor the whale's movements.
