Charity aims to establish first open water safe haven in a reserve for whales, including a Russian beluga that went viral on YouTube

The sociable creature seemed drawn to humans, and they were drawn to him. But Hvaldimir’s story seems to be a sad one; wearing a tight harness stamped with “equipment of St Petersburg”, the media went crazy, with talk of a “spy whale”.
