Its because the reason why this whale made this sound its because it was calling other whales to see if there were replys after the audio.

[@someonewhothinksurdumb6012]

Only the 52 blue can become friends with another 52 blue

[@pastelpirate9906]

WHY HAVE WE NOT SEEN IT?? I cant find photos of it or friken anything. We know where it migrates so why dont we have photos?? Edit: I dod some thinking and realized how impractical it would be to literally just wait on a whale to swim by. I guess we could directly fallow its migration while it is migrating and fallow its call but the ocean would probably make the sound disperse. Still wanna see it one day.

[@why-____-]

Isnt there a legend of a super big whale?

[@BarakBarak1]

If you only knew the story of the whale origin from the Bible perspective everything will be soooo clear and you be amazed how depth and knowledge you have on this world from that book. Not all the religions have the keys to extract the knowledge from it but im sure you will be smart enough to know that G dont need to give a second version after a few years is not a car manufacturer... he knows the future he don’t need to adjust is torah. (Good luck on your knowledge adventures:)

[@Sirdudee]

I don't know why people here are so upset, sure the only thing is it can't find a mate but blue whales are mostly solitary, so I don't think I'd call it the world's "loneliest".

[@Remember-P12]

Wanted to know about lonely whale after listening whalien 52 song of BTS.

Isn't it wonderful that a song from BTS has spiked interest in this dear Creature Teacher? I am a Grand Mother of two Grand Daughters but my interest in this topic is that to my knowledge & i could be wrong, is that nobody has ever seen this ?Whale? So how in the ocean can anyone say that there is "Loneliness"??? If it is a Whale & i have listened to the emanated sound & think it is probable that it is a Whale, it's song could be to locate a specific fish & whales do this whereas Dolphins click & use echolocation but either way some Dolphins " porpoise, bottlenose & beluga could easily hear it's song & being as curious as they are, will seek out the origin of the sound. Some years ago there was a whale trapped between sand bars & it was in danger of dying with the tide going out, if it didn't find it's way out into the deep. So along came a friendly Dolphin called Moko, a local & much loved & revered Sentient being of The Maori People of New Zealand. He spoke to the Whale & got it to follow him & he led The Whale out & into deeper water. At this time Scientists did not know that Dolphin & Whale could understand each other which i found to be quite funny... Of course they can communicate hahaha, they play & swim together "Observation Teaches you "i think" more than mere science alone". So Is this unidentified Whale lonely? I think NOT but being just a GrandMa, i will have to wait for science to catch up. So lament no more RM, it is my intuition of course but it's Mother would of passed on all her knowledge, sometimes we forget that the oldest language in the world is "Body Language" & Mama would of shown everything needed for it's survival..... We also know that Dolphin has & is raising an orphan baby whale, so Dolphin has empathy & compassion & i'm sure if this whale is lonely, Dolphin will keep an eye out for it. So RM the infrasound of your Heartsong can be heard dear heart.... Bless

i wish this whale knew that now because of Whalien 52 millions of people knows about its existence
