The harness-wearing Beluga whale that turned up in Norway in 2019, sparking speculation it was a spy trained by the Russian navy, has appeared off Sweden's coast, an organisation following him said on May 29, 2023. First discovered in Norway's far northern region of Finnmark in 2019, the whale spent more than three years slowly moving down the top half of the Norwegian coastline, before suddenly speeding up in recent months to travel down the second half and into Sweden. On May 28, he was observed in Hunnebostrand, on Sweden's southwestern coast. (Photo by Jorgen REE WIIG / various sources / AFP) / RESTRICTED TO EDITORIAL USE - MANDATORY CREDIT
