A Russian 'spy whale' is having too much fun to leave Norway and is in no hurry to swim back to Mother Russia

LONDON — This suspected Russian spy is having a whale of a time in Norway.

"The whale was really friendly and came up to us and started opening its mouth, and just checking us out," said Jorgen Ree Wiig, an official with the Norwegian Directorate of Fisheries."We were trying to talk to it." Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a small GoPro camera attached to the harness, marked with the words “Equipment St Petersburg,”More likely, Wiig theorized, this whale is from a notorious whale operation in Siberia that once trapped massive maritime mammals for sale to aquariums. That so-called"whale jail" has since been disbanded with its operators haphazardly dumping evidence.

"Yeah, and it was gonna be like prosecuted by the Russian government. So this whale might also be, like somebody had it in a containment and they got afraid and just let it loose because they didn’t want to be prosecuted."

How do they know it’s Russian? Does it have some distinguishing tattoos or some military campaign ribbons, or rank insignias? Maybe it’s accent gave it away.Better start installing torpedo equipped beluga proof nets in our harbors

Best make sure all the torpedos have been removed in case it decides to plow straight into an unsuspecting cruise ship full of white helmets and families living La Vida Loca on US & UK tax dollars.Our govs make sure their proxy terrorists live large & in chrg

This sounds like angey child sayin in revange: i will not invite you for my birthday!😡😆

After it gets though Norway it's going to swim over to Finland just to see how happy everybody is

I don’t blame him. I’d rather live in Norway too.

I heard Trump has been talking to the “surveillance” whale.

Looking for treats...😊

I have a Siberian Husky. I think she is a Russian spy as well.

He’s every Russian who ever went to Norway.

So, take him into protective custody. Maybe he will ask to be freed.

Double agent, smart-ass mammal... and needs a name now to becomea global super star!😆☮

Whale will 'commit suicide' by beaching itself in Bergen within a week.

Casing the place. 👀

The first spy whale becomes the first double agent whale.

If 200,000,000 million Russians could they would join her.

Just like most of Russia’s spies. Amirite RusEmbUSA GovernmentRF mfa_russia? 😂

Spy games? Russia could be using beluga whales for military purposesA whale has been discovered in waters near Norway with tight harnesses on it, which could have been attached by the Russian military. Or could have been another 'brilliant' plan by Jacob Wohl Why is it always Russians? The prime suspect is clearly David Attenborough. It probably had a bomb strapped on it but managed to get rid of it thereby saving Norway from utter ruin. However Norway had no idea and did not offer the brave and friendly beluga a reward. Next time will be different.
