The clip has surfaced days after a beluga whale was found with a tight harness that appeared to be Russian and had raised the alarm of Norwegian officials leading to speculations that the animal may have escaped from a Russian military facility.

The ownership of the whale is still not confirmed but it looks like it was trained for some purpose. As per the reports, Norwegian fishermen spotted a harness fitted with a mount for the camera or weapon.
