Scientists have known about this whale for a very long time - an article about it appeared in the New York Times back in 2004, and for the first time a lone whale was seen almost 20 years ago, in 1992, by specialists from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Kit was helped to find a special device - a hydrophone, developed by engineers of the US Navy to detect enemy submarines
In fact, the whales' only communication method is sound. To communicate with each other, these creatures emit a lingering and rather mournful call, and in the range from 15 to 25 hertz. If the frequency of the sound is less or more than this segment, then the animals simply will not hear it.
Whether due to a genetic anomaly, or for some other reason, the "voice" of the hero of our story sounds at a frequency much higher than the permissible for whales - 52 hertz. For decades, the 52-hertz whale has been cruising the vastness of the ocean, hoping to meet its own kind and in the hope that they will hear it. “Perhaps this whale is a hybrid of different species, or maybe it is a creature completely unknown to us,” says cryptozoologist All Lewis.
Another peculiarity of the 52-hertz whale is that the route that it takes in the Pacific Ocean is very different from the one along which its flocks swim.
Truly, this whale is not like everyone else, an outcast, an outsider, and without the slightest hope. Who knows how long his lonely travels will continue, filled with an unanswered call to deaf and dumb spaces. Zoologists will say that this whale Frankenstein will never find its warm place in the ocean and is forever doomed to lonely wanderings. But in any fantasy there is a share of life, and perhaps nature will send down an equally dissimilar companion to the one who has known the pain of loneliness.
