In the Pacific Ocean lives a whale unlike any other. It's not special because of its size or color. Its beautiful voice is what makes this whale unique, while also causing it to become the most lonely whale in the world.
When researchers first discovered this whale, they noticed something unusual about it. It has no friends, family, or lovers in the vast Pacific Ocean. It floats around the deep blue sea alone. When researchers investigated why, they found a rather peculiar answer.
Researchers surmised that the whale is a hybrid between a fin and blue whale, giving it a deep, distinct voice that is unrecognizable to other whales in the ocean.
Fin whales have a voice that is around 20 hertz, which is a deep, bassy tone.
