Beluga whale with Russian harness raises alarm in Norway.

Joergen Ree Wiig of the Norwegian Directorate of Fisheries says"Equipment St. Petersburg" is written on the harness strap, which features a mount for an action camera.

It wasn't immediately clear what the mammal was being trained for, or whether it was supposed to be part of any Russian military activity in the region. "This is a tame animal that is used to get food served so that is why it has made contacts with the fishermen," he said."The question is now whether it can survive by finding food by itself. We have seen cases where other whales that have been in Russian captivity doing fine."

Russia does not have a history of using whales for military purposes but the Soviet Union had a full-fledged training program for dolphins.
