TIL: there's a whale "speaking" in the 52 hertz frequency, where no other whale speaks or can hear. It has been called the "world's loneliest whale". It's argued that it can be a malformed animal or a hybrid, but it has been recorded since the late 1980s and it has been detected along many different places of the Pacific ocean, a sign of a healthy specimen.
In 2010 another simultaneous recording of the 52 hertz song was detected elsewhere, suggesting that even the loneliest whale of the world could have a potential soulmate.
