Slapping Water Calls a Whale


Occurred on September 9, 2019 / Alta, Norway

Info from Licensor: "Hvaldimir, is an escaped baluga whale from Russia. He was found late April/early May in Rolvsøya Finnmark in Norway. He had a harness on him. He was taken to Hammerfest Norway for tests of his health. They tested if he could catch food for himself, but he didn’t. So whale scientist, Eve, is taking care of Hvaldimir. In the video, I’m with eve, she was in another boat. She is training Hvaldimir and feeding him every day, so he would stay stimulated. Eve asked if she could send him to me, and I said yes. She gave Hvaldimir a sign and told me to slap the water. Then Hvaldimir started swimming towards me. He came to me and instantly returned to Eve for a treat."
