You think you are alone ?

If you think you are lonely, I understand you. Most of us have felt that way. Maybe there are some people who deny it, they are liars, most probably. But here is something to put it in perspective, the lone whale found by the US Navy.


I read this in a number of places, here is one quote:

LONDON (Reuters) - A lone whale, with a voice unlike any other, has been wandering the Pacific for the past 12 years, American marine biologists said Wednesday.


Using signals recorded by the US navy to track submarines, they traced the movement of whales in the Northern Pacific and found that a lone whale singing at a frequency of around 52 hertz has cruised the ocean since 1992.

Its calls, despite being clearly those of a baleen, do not match those of any known species of whale, which usually call at frequencies of between 15 and 20 hertz.

The mammal does not follow the migration patterns of any other species either, according to team leader Mary Anne Daher.



I would like to ask this animal some questions. Maybe I am the first one? No, some Navy guys are probably adead of me in the line, they must have been wondering about this for a long time.
