He said it has been reported off Lysekill, which sits north of Goteborg, Sweden's second-largest city. There was no immediate comment from Swedish authorities."We don't know why he has sped up so fast right now," especially since he is moving"very quickly away from his natural environment", Sebastian Strand, a marine biologist with the OneWhale organisation, told the AFP news agency.
When he first appeared in Norway's Arctic, marine biologists from the Norwegian officials removed an attached man-made harness. "He is a little lonely whale who hopes to find other white whales that he can hang out with," said Strand of Onewhale, a nonprofit organisation created solely for protecting the health and welfare of Hvaldimir.
