Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin recently attached a satellite transmitter onto a white whale in Russia's Far East region and then told the animal not to be so angry.

During his visit to Chkalov Island in Russia's Far East Khabarovsk region Friday, Putin met the scientists studying white whales' behaviour, migration patterns and habitats. He inspected U.S. and Russian-made satellite transmitters and watched a movie showing how these transmitters should be fixed onto a white whale's body. Then, accompanied by Emergencies Minister Sergei Shoigu and a group of scientists, Putin headed out to sea (some believe he's been there for a while, as it is). The Russian prime minister then approached a white whale named Dasha in order to attach a transmitter onto the mammal. Putin asked whether Dasha could eat him and those with him, but a scientist calmed him down, saying: "She won't eat us, but could splash us with cold water." "Probably if she gets angry," Putin replied.

Having attached the transmitter on to Dasha, he clapped the whale on the sides and said: "Don't be angry anymore." The whale, now angrier than ever at being so humiliated, was then released back into the sea. Before this whale-stunt, the leader had flown a fighter jet, defeated black-belts on the judo mat, and also shot a tiger with a tranquilizer dart. Later, Putin boarded a mini-submarine and dove to the bottom of Lake Baikal in Siberia. Later that day, he flew to the Moon, tackled the entire front line of the Oakland Raiders singlehandedly, and ate 54 blini in less than ten minutes. An action man, to be certain!
