A beluga whale that was found wearing a strange harness could have been trained by the Russian navy, according to a Norwegian marine biologist. The harness had a GoPro camera holder and a label that said 'Equipment of St Petersburg'. Norwegian journalist Allan Klo broke the story, and explains how he found out about the whale.
