2 September 2024 at 06:59 Do not think Hvaldimir died of natural causes Regina Crosby Haug, head of the voluntary organization One Whale, which has followed Hvaldimir for the past five years, believes the whale has been hit by a boat. – We are devastated by the news that Hvaldimir has been found dead, she tells Stavanger Aftenblad. She does not believe that Hvaldimir died of natural causes. – He was healthy and had no signs of illness. My guess is that he was hit by a boat and died of internal injuries. We have documented that Hvaldimir has swum with boats, and he has previously been hit by a boat, says Haug. Currently, it is not known what has happened to the famous whale, but there are plans to autopsy it. Hvaldimir was last seen alive around 12 o’clock on Saturday. At 2.30 pm, the whale was found lying with its belly up. Hvaldimir was probably between 15 and 20 years old. According to the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), beluga whales usually live between 30 and 35 years. (© NTB)
