The Loneliest Whale in the World.
In 2004, The New York Times wrote an article about the loneliest whale in the world. Scientists have been tracking her since 1992 and they discovered the problem:
She isn’t like any other baleen whale. Unlike all other whales, she doesn’t have friends. She doesn’t have a family. She doesn’t belong to any tribe, pack or gang. She doesn’t have a lover. She never had one. Her songs come in groups of two to six calls, lasting for five to six seconds each. But her voice is unlike any other baleen whale. It is unique—while the rest of her kind communicate between 12 and 25hz, she sings at 52hz. You see, that’s precisely the problem. No other whales can hear her. Every one of her desperate calls to communicate remains unanswered. Each cry ignored. And, with every lonely song, she becomes sadder and more frustrated, her notes going deeper in despair as the years go by.
awww ;-;
this annoys me every time i see it because
- that’s a picture of a grey whale, which are solitary to begin with and definitely not what the article is talking about
- blue whales are also solitary
- “She doesn’t have a family. She doesn’t belong to any tribe, pack or gang.” THE WORD YOU ARE LOOKING FOR IS POD
- the op assumes the whale is female while it is actually most likely a male, since males are the ones who vocalize in most instances
- if it’s a hybrid (as the actual article poses as a possibility) it won’t be able to reproduce anyways
- i know people love romanticizing this shit but the tone didn’t grow deeper in “despair”; the whale matured. tones usually get deeper as whales grow
- and finally, an inability to vocalize would not doom a whale into being alone forever

AVENGERS ASSEMBLE!
In the cafeteria … after school.
Mark Ruffalo looks more Hulk-like here than he does in the movie.
(Also, Jeremy Renner. Also also, Not Another Teen Movie.)
