52-Hertz song of world’s loneliest whale - nest0r - 2011-03-30 http://earthsky.org/biodiversity/52-hertz-song-of-worlds-loneliest-whale “A lonely whale of unknown species has been swimming the Earth’s seas for years, ostracized from its own kind thanks to an inability to communicate. Not that it doesn’t try. It does. But the whale sings in a sound frequency that is so high, no other whales will respond. In the language of whales, it’s like speaking Klingon anywhere on Earth outside a Star Trek convention.” Previously: Song of the Sea, a Cappella and Unanswered “Imagine roaming the world's largest ocean year after year alone, calling out with the regularity of a metronome, and hearing no response.

The animal is called the 52 hertz whale because it makes a distinctive stream of sounds at around that basso profundo frequency, just above the lowest note on a tuba. Its sonic signature is clearly that of a whale, but nothing like the normal voice of the giant blue or the next biggest species, the fin, or any other whale for that matter, said Mary Ann Daher, a marine biologist at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution on Cape Cod.” 52-Hertz song of world’s loneliest whale - JimmySeal - 2011-03-30 52-Hertz song of world’s loneliest whale - urpwnd - 2011-03-31 @JimmySeal - laughed. my. ass. off. thanks. 52-Hertz song of world’s loneliest whale - nest0r - 2011-03-31 How dare you mock the suffering of 52 hertz, you monsters.
