Many of our supporters have been closely following the story of the lone beluga whale, known as Hvaldimir. First seen in Norwegian waters in 2019, wearing what is thought to have been a harness issued by the Russian military, Hvaldimir was sadly found dead in August this year.   The Norwegian Veterinary Institute has conducted a necropsy, and their report on the cause of Hvaldimir’s death can be found here.
