LONDON — This suspected Russian spy is having a whale of a time in Norway.
A beluga whale — found in Arctic Norway with a suspicious camera strapped to its head — has been joyously seeking out human contact and is in no hurry to swim back to Mother Russia, or anywhere for that matter.
"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."
Wiig told NBC News he's rarely seen a whale so confidently seeking out human interaction: "That’s really untypical."
The whale became a worldwide espionage sensation after Norweigan fishermen first spotted it last week with a harness wrapped near its head.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a small GoPro camera attached to the harness, marked with the words “Equipment St Petersburg,” raising suspicions the whale was working as a Kremlin spy.

The spy is doing well though is missing Selyodka
