An unusual visitor emerged on the open seas in Hammerfest, Norway, a few weeks ago: a beluga whale wearing a leash.
The whale’s origins are unknown, although it’s thought that he was trained by the Russian navy, from whom he had seemingly deserted. He’s lingered around since he was released from the harness.
However, something new about the whale’s nature has just been discovered: he’s actually pretty considerate!
Ina Mansika and her companions decided to go down to the waterfront the other day while out and about at Hammerfest to see if they could locate the supposed former spy. Something incredible happened at that point.
The beluga whale not only greeted them, but he also came to Mansika’s rescue when she had a mistake.
Mansika told The Dodo, “We lied down on the pier to gaze at it and possibly have the chance to pet it.” “My phone went into the water because I neglected to shut my jacket pocket. We thought it was gone for good until the whale went back under and reappeared a few seconds later, holding my phone in its jaws!”
Mansika was taken aback.
“Everyone was taken aback. We nearly couldn’t believe what we were seeing “she stated. “I was overjoyed and grateful to have my phone back.”
Sadly, water damage had rendered the phone useless by that moment, but Mansika was grateful nonetheless: “I adore animals!” she said. “The whale is wonderful.”
Given his apparent training, it’s unclear if the beluga whale is too acclimated to people to survive in the wild on his own, but officials insist they are acting in his best interests. According to the Washington Post, a proposal is being proposed to send him to an Icelandic refugee camp – a kind gesture for someone who has previously demonstrated the same.
