VANCOUVER – The story of 52-Hertz, named the “loneliest whale in the world”, has captivated people everywhere.
Believed to be a hybrid whale, a cross between a blue and a fin whale, 52-Hertz is named due to the unusual frequency of his voice. Most whales communicate with each other at lower frequencies, but 52-Hertz is on a frequency all his own.
Scientists believe he has been swimming in the ocean alone for decades, calling out for other whales to answer him, and getting no response.
