Body of suspected 'spy whale' found
A beluga whale suspected of being trained as a spy by Russia has been found dead off the Norwegian coast.
The body of the animal, nicknamed Hvaldimir, was found floating off the south-western town of Risavika and taken to the nearest port for examination.
The whale was first spotted in Norwegian waters five years ago with a GoPro camera attached to a harness that read 'Equipment of St Petersburg'.聽成人论坛 reporter Charlie Jones explains how the alleged 'spy' was first discovered, and how it's not the only animal that's been accused of being trained in this way.
