Spying whales and other undercover animals
First rule of spying - don't look like a spy.
The beluga whale - if that's really its name - found in Norway's waters can certainly tick that box.
But it appears to have committed an absolutely basic rookie sleuthing error.
The reason it's causing suspicion among Norwegian fishermen and scientists is that it was wearing a harness and a label saying it was from St Petersburg in Russia.
Russia has denied any wrongdoing - and so far the beluga is refusing to talk.
Can't or won't?
Regardless of the truth, it certainly wouldn't be the first time undercover animals have been used to spy.
