Remember the White Whale we posted about last week? Well, it stuck around! He's been staying at Hammerfest in Northern Norway for a few days, and today, when a girl dropped her phone, the whale picked it up and delivered it to her! Video by @isa.opdahl Music by @iksonofficial

MANILA - A Beluga whale seemed to play fetch with a woman as it retrieved the cellphone she dropped at sea in Hammerfest, northern Norway.

The whale was earlier spotted at neighboring Finnmark, wearing a harness and a mount suited for an action camera. The text "Equipment St. Petersburg" was printed on the plastic clasps.

Marine biologist Jorgen Ree Wiig said the whale could have come from neighboring Russia, where he believed it might have escaped an enclosure.
