Oh this is just the most heartwarming story I've ever heard made me cry 😭. Which is stupid how people are so cruel even animals to get information... I don't have any way to housing or I would take him in I think he's just just beautiful 😘
What a sweet little guy, and his story really broke my heart! Bless this woman for trying to find solutions for him, and I hope something can be worked out so no harm comes to this sweet baby! I wouldn't want something like what happened Toa to happen to this cute guy!
I remember the first time I saw a beluga. I couldn't believe it was real. They are such magical looking creatures. Indeed, like something from a comic book. And so intelligent.
The harsh truth about Hvaldimir is this: He is a tamed whale, not a wild whale. He has been in Norway now for FOUR years and nothing has really changed. He spends the vast majority of his time at salmon farms and sleeps under boats. He continues to get injured. He remains ALONE, well over 1,000 miles from other belugas. AND he was last seen heading towards a highly populated city which puts him in even greater danger. All of our experts - including some of the top whale scientists in the world - agree that if he is not protected in a reserve, THIS WILL NOT END WELL. We are not willing to lay silent and let that happen. With love, imagination and support we can create a safe protected area for him. We can help to rehabilitate him and eventually attempt to release him into a wild beluga population where he can have a family of his own again. And we can help many other formerly captive whales in the process. We call upon the country of Norway to step in and help become a champion for this important cause. Thank you to everyone who has donated to our campaign to get a van for Team Hvaldimir. We are still short of the funds needed so please consider supporting this important need we have so we can continue our work! ----PLEASE CONSIDER HELPING TEAM HVALDIMIR BY DONATING TO ONE WHALE Connect with OneWhale.org: Visit website: onewhale.org to learn more or donate.

This is such a precious little soul! I hope Valdemir will finally be amongst other Beluga whales so he can lead the life he was supposed to! I just watched a couple of videos here on RUclips about Little Gray and Little White, two sibling Beluga whales, who were rescued from a sealife park after being imprisoned there from the time they were little calves. They had been stolen from their mother 10 years before and taken to China to entertain humans in that sealife park. Little White and Little Gray were rescued and taken about three years ago to a Beluga sanctuary in Iceland and seem to be doing very well now.
Thank God there are people who are trying to help this whale. I have read something about the work that has been done with belugas, and it's heartbreaking that there are still specimens out there. They are extremely intelligent and gentle creatures. I hope a solution can be found, but will continue to keep him in my thoughts.
It's nothing new to see cetaceans being taken advantage of like this. Both as captive animals at SeaWorld or as some kind of assistance to the military during the cold war. The US military has conducted programmes to that effect too, so don't go thinking it is just the Russians doing it.
When we went to Norway in summers, he saw him around Sorøya island. We could pet him and we gave him some of the leftovers from our mackerel. Their skin feels so strange. Not soft or glassy like you would think but rough like a cat tounge. Love the kind whale❤
It only looks glassy because it is usually wet, but even with its texture it is soft, just as a cats tongue is. The texture of its skin is likely something similar to sharkskin with hydrodynamic adaptation allowing them to swim with less friction through the water, perhaps causing less cavitation too in their wake.
What a beautiful story and I hope they succeed if they haven't already. Looks like this was posted a year ago. I'll have to do some research and see if there are any updates.
It's a real whale, and the Russians are well known to have a high interest in Scandinavian coast lines due to their proximity to that of Russia's on both sides (Baltic Sea and Arctic Ocean).
Der arme Wal. Er ist so einsam. Seine Artgenossen leben viel weiter nördlich. Dort wo er herumschwimmt findet er nie ein Mädchen. Er spielt gerne mit Menschen, weil er einsam ist. Die Boote und Schiffe sind aber für ihn gefährlich. Wenn er ein Hund wäre würde ich ihn adoptieren.
It's true that this poor guy came from spy world😢,you can see his behavior.A typical beluga is not close to human,but this guy he wants to side everybody I mean he's not afraid from people.
The whale in question has now been reported dead. Reports emerging from Norway claim, he was shot dead, and investigations are still ongoing. Human mismanagement is a sad disease.
They thought animals are adorable and "dumb" They're not, 😅 they knew they've been used Chickens knew, some fight and some just humble and don't wanna get themselves in trouble, chickens knew they're gonna get killed for food, their unborn babies too 🐔🔪🍗🥚🍳 Cows, pigs, goats, sheeps, as well Horses, some got killed rarely there are people who love eating horse meat 🍖🐴 But most, they only trained them for gambling races, competitions and personal rides other than cars and bicycles, horse knew they've been used, some like that lifestyle and some don't, they wanna go to the wild where they belong
Keiko the Orca with a James's Bondesque twist, eh?! 🤔 He is absolutely adorable! What a doll. Send him over to the Oregon coast Aquarium, we would take great care of him! We miss having a big cetacian........🥰
Yeah .. Keiko is burried here in Norway as well... he came to the country that hunt whales for protection (that is ...we do not hunt killer whales or Belugas). He did not like being in a sanctuary as well to be honest, whales are free.. we do not know if Valdimir ever have been free before as Keiko was a captured whale.
I think whales are intelligent beings. Every time I see a Beluga whale with their bulbous head...I think wow what a big brain. If its brain physiology is the same as a dolphin, it never needs to sleep because half the brain is awake while the other half is asleep. I wonder if humans will evolve into something like that.
thats not its brain, their head vibrates so they can communicate and echolocate. if you look at a video of someone touching it, its extremely soft like a stress ball
Where is the sweet baby today? I love you sweet beluga. ❤️🧡🩵🩷💛💚Is Hvaldimir in a reserve for whales or a sanctuary for whales over there in Norway. I’m very concerned about this beautiful sweet Beluga male whale and love him so much.

What a beautiful whale! So glad he was released from his harness. Hope he finds his "best life"!
RIP baby boy 💔
This the cutest spy ever
The sad thing it is he/she is dead he/she was found dead yesterday😢
Oh this is just the most heartwarming story I've ever heard made me cry 😭. Which is stupid how people are so cruel even animals to get information... I don't have any way to housing or I would take him in I think he's just just beautiful 😘
This is so fake, please tell me you see it!

Would be so cool if anyone ever had such an amount of care and love for humans also living in pain and loneliness.
Thanks for breaking all our hearts with this sad info.
How do you know Hvaldimir is not happier this way....maybe he enjoys humans more than other belugas
Hope boats will change the design of their propellers to avoid accidents in marine life
Injured? Must be invisible injuries,
But nice try scammers

Beautiful intelligent sea angels. 😍
beautiful creature
I hope they arrest those monsters who took him away from the world.
He be Human..❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Very love him.🐳🐋🐳🐋
Cutest spy ever!
Why not simply transport him to an area where belugas live? He could bond with other belugas.
This is what I was about to put, I see this question has not been answered. I wonder how easy is it to do so..
He's beautiful. They are known to interact with humans, whatever the situation, it's great that people care and are helping.
they recognize our intelligence and sapience, if only more humans could recognize theirs
Nonsense
I knew Putin was a monster but using these beautiful, sweet, lovable, social animals to do his dirty work? New low.

@@mnomadvfxIt's not just SeaWorld but China, Canada and Australia have their "SeaWorld" type parks!!
Imagine if anyone had this kind of love for their fellow humans in need, and so willing to help and do good.
When we went to Norway in summers, he saw him around Sorøya island. We could pet him and we gave him some of the leftovers from our mackerel. Their skin feels so strange. Not soft or glassy like you would think but rough like a cat tounge. Love the kind whale❤

I like watching the friendly whale. It's funny.... Thank you🙏
I love animals but don't believe in punishing other belugas and putting others in captivity just so this one finds a companion. Let him be free
The plan is to make a group (pod) and release them together
They should name him “Vladimir the Baron Harkonenn” because they look exactly alike 😂
sadly he is found dead in Rogaland, Norway .
Please add buluga friends
What a beautiful story and I hope they succeed if they haven't already. Looks like this was posted a year ago. I'll have to do some research and see if there are any updates.
Maybe he likes to live as he is. Perhaps he doesn't identify as a Baluga, better this than captivity.
So beautiful. ❤
So cute
He is now on the west coast
Hope boats will change the design of their propellers to avoid accidents in marine life..
Come on CBS, a spy whale. This story is a rewrite of a Simpson episode.
It's a real whale, and the Russians are well known to have a high interest in Scandinavian coast lines due to their proximity to that of Russia's on both sides (Baltic Sea and Arctic Ocean).
Make sure you fetch him a girlfriend ✋

this is literally a fantasy novel

Human mismanagement is a sad disease.
WHY DOES SHE THINK SHE KNOWS WHAT'S BEST FOR HIM? LET HIM BE WITH HIS FRIENDS!!!
Now Russia has received all the NATO intelligence. Great job.
I knew beluga whales couldn't be trusted!! But every one called me crazy. (I'm joking)
They thought animals are adorable and "dumb"
They're not, 😅 they knew they've been used
Chickens knew, some fight and some just humble and don't wanna get themselves in trouble, chickens knew they're gonna get killed for food, their unborn babies too 🐔🔪🍗🥚🍳
Cows, pigs, goats, sheeps, as well
Horses, some got killed rarely there are people who love eating horse meat 🍖🐴
But most, they only trained them for gambling races, competitions and personal rides other than cars and bicycles, horse knew they've been used, some like that lifestyle and some don't, they wanna go to the wild where they belong
He's gone...
Now he has been killed 😢😢😢😢💔💔💔💔💔💔
SO, IF he would live in the reserve....will it be free to come and look at him?...no i dont think so...its all about money..
I'm a fan ❤
See! Even the whales are saying F to Putin's war.
AIRBUS Beluga
I must confess this is great wag the dog material.
omg , voldymir was an ex kgb !
Now i know were beluga cat got his name
This story is from April 2019.
Keiko the Orca with a James's Bondesque twist, eh?! 🤔 He is absolutely adorable! What a doll. Send him over to the Oregon coast Aquarium, we would take great care of him! We miss having a big cetacian........🥰
The whale has for sure a much better life where he is now than he would get in any form of Aquarium.
Yeah .. Keiko is burried here in Norway as well... he came to the country that hunt whales for protection (that is ...we do not hunt killer whales or Belugas).
He did not like being in a sanctuary as well to be honest, whales are free.. we do not know if Valdimir ever have been free before as Keiko was a captured whale.
great
AIRBUS BelugaXL
So this is from January of 2023? Is he still okay?
Can't Hvaldimir catch fish by his own?
This is almost enough to make up for the walrus. Almost.
You clearly don't understand the walrus situation at all.
@@The_Judge300 By all means, enlighten me.
I am the walrus.
They buying him fish? Come on man.😂 😂😂
Dude, where else would he find fish? The sea? Yeah right!
@@lewstone5430 Yeah it’s no fish in the sea.😂

Шпион😂😂😂😂 этот кит жил в дельфинариуме и его учили играть с мячом
Hopefully they have tonnage of fish 🐟 for him to soak stay around 🙏
The shedd aquarium in Chicago, they already have one maybe the can accommodate
aquarium are incredibly cruel for animals like this
From Russia with love.
A spy whale? 🤯
The us navy trained dolphins for harbor defence as well. Sea lions too
@@jedispartancoolman 🤯
A whale with a job 😛
The United States found that the most difficult thing was teaching the dolphins to swim with machine guns.
who heard that putin is giving free rice to poor families in africa like this comment
😍😍😍😍🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰💓💓💓💓💓♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

That story has grift all over it 😅😅
Where is the sweet baby today? I love you sweet beluga. ❤️🧡🩵🩷💛💚Is Hvaldimir in a reserve for whales or a sanctuary for whales over there in Norway. I’m very concerned about this beautiful sweet Beluga male whale and love him so much.
We need a marine hospital inside the ocean training the beluga to bring the injured
I really love this.
