Strand said the whale, believed to be 13-14 years old, is “at an age where his hormones are very high”.

Fun fact: They are called beluga because it’s an anagram of ‘a bulge’

I hope that this lonely lad makes it to the company of some more of his kind; and that feckin’ strap around his neck drops off (not only for his safety, by the safety of other adolescent Belugas who might feel tempted to copy his radical and dangerous fashion style).

Seems really young for a white russian military element; I thought most of those would be pushing a century if still alive at this point.

Hvaldimir is a portmanteau name: Hval is Norwegian for ‘whale’ and ‘Vladimir’ is a Russian name. Someone, somewhere deserves a pay rise for coming up with that.
