A beluga whale found off Norway's coast wearing a special Russian harness was probably trained by the Russian navy, a Norwegian expert says.

Marine biologist Prof Audun Rikardsen said the harness had a GoPro camera holder and a label sourcing it to St Petersburg. A Norwegian fisherman managed to remove it from the whale.

He said a Russian fellow scientist had told him that it was not the sort of kit that Russian scientists would use.

Russia has a naval base in the region.

The tame beluga repeatedly approached Norwegian boats off Ingoya, an Arctic island about 415km (258 miles) from Murmansk, where Russia's Northern Fleet is based. Belugas are native to Arctic waters.

The fisherman say the animal seemed friendly and had approached several fishing boats in the area seemingly wanting to be fed.

I can remember posting about the US navy dolphins fitted with harpoon guns that reportedly managed to escape to the open ocean after their enclosure was flooded during Hurricane Katrina. Post seems to have been deleted though. * +

Similar, it's a true fact that the USA does use dophines to search for sea mines and equipment.. Katrina

I do respect people here in terms of their conduct towards others, we as people need to turn the situation around- it's vital to knock out the accusatory parts in favour of plain information (fact not fiction), the pot and kettle thing- minimalize this, as we shouldn't care who has a bigger gun BECAUSE NONE SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO USE IT.. sensible people Please return to the table.. * +

The US or Russia, doesn't matter, harpoon, spy or mine, doesn't matter.. humans weaponising animals, important.. wild creature made domestic- important.. locations of these animals- serious.. none of what I'm saying here is angry, just trying to be understood and actually turn the page rather than talking about it.. we scan multiple articles, good people do, don't need the others repeatedly spewing crap right? I hope a number of people are in agreement, them lot don't count lol.. * +
