Four years ago, a beluga whale appeared off the Norwegian coast equipped with a mysterious harness and led to speculation about Russian espionage. Now he has apparently left the country's waters – and moved on to Sweden.

The environmental organization OneWhale reports a sighting near the village of Hunnebostrand. For more than three years, the animal had moved very slowly away from Norway and had been spotted near Oslo just a few days ago. It is possible that the hormones or loneliness are the reason for the rapid removal of the animal.
