The loneliest whale in the world - 52 Hertz whale, he sings his song, but no other whale he will not respond and continues his journey through the seas and oceans alone.





Not that he does not try to communicate with the tribesmen. He does it all the time. But whale sings so high that at this frequency sound no other whale can not answer. A lone whale circled over the ocean, perhaps in search of friends, but instead drew the attention of the US Navy in 1989, when he first recorded it on a sound unusual for whales frequency. Call came at a frequency of 52 Hz, although the usual range for whales within 12 - 25 Hz. Blue whale uses frequency as that of the lowest notes on the piano, while the kit uses a frequency of about eight notes above.



His nickname - 52 Hertz, he received because of the frequency of 51, 75 Hertz, which he publishes his signals. The problem is that the rest of the whales communicate at frequencies of 15-25 Hz, ie hear none of them it could never.



Scientists have for many years tracking its movement through a unique challenge, but the way China can not cross paths with the migration of other whales.



No one knows why the loneliest whale in the world has become such. Some argue that it is a hybrid of two species of whales, others that he was the last representative of an unknown species. Whatever it was, it is most likely doomed to wander forever alone in the vast expanses of the ocean.
