If you ever go on a dolphin tour boat and your guide permits passengers to feed or jump in the water with wild dolphins, entices the dolphins closer to the boat with various forms of bait, chases after them, or attempts to corral them with other boats for a better viewing experience, please report them to Fish & Wildlife for violating the Marine Mammal Protection Act. Feeding, touching, or harassing any marine mammal is prohibited in US waters. Document the violations if you can.

The beach town where I’m staying for my internship is full of dolphin tour boat companies who condone or even practice these illegal, harmful activities. It’s very disturbing to see locals and tourists alike posting on social media about their ~magical wild dolphin encounters~ without knowing or caring about the danger to the animals. Wild dolphins need to stay wild. They cannot rely on humans for food. They cannot lose their wariness of boats. Not to mention it’s unsafe for you. Dolphins are intelligent, wonderful creatures, but they’re not the gentle, benevolent entities popular media has made them out to be—they’re large, powerful, wild animals that deserve respect. Please enjoy observing wild dolphins from a safe distance, and if you ever find yourself approached in the water, let them pass by you undisturbed.

The Loneliest Whale

In the vast expanse of the world's oceans, where countless species roam, one particular creature stands out—a symbol of solitude and yearning. This extraordinary creature, known as "the loneliest whale," has captivated the hearts and imaginations of scientists, filmmakers, and nature enthusiasts alike. In this blog post, we will delve into the captivating story of the loneliest whale, exploring its mysterious existence, the science behind its unique communication, and the profound lessons it teaches us about loneliness and connection.

The Tale of the Loneliest Whale:

The loneliest whale first gained attention in the late 1980s when scientists discovered its distinct vocalizations. Unlike most whales, which communicate within a frequency range of 12 to 25 hertz, this enigmatic creature emits calls at a frequency of around 52 hertz. This frequency is much higher than the typical range of other whale species, making it difficult for them to hear its calls.

The Isolation and Mystery:

The loneliest whale's isolation stems from its inability to communicate effectively with other whales. While most whales rely on vocalizations to find mates and socialize, the higher frequency of the 52-Hertz Whale's calls prevents it from effectively communicating with its counterparts. As a result, it has been swimming through the vast ocean alone, seemingly condemned to a solitary existence.

The exact reason for the loneliest whale's unique vocalizations remains a mystery. Some theories suggest that it may be a genetic anomaly or a result of a physical deformity. Others propose that it could be a hybrid between different whale species or a solitary individual with its own unique dialect. However, no concrete answers have emerged, leaving room for speculation and wonder.

Lessons from the Loneliest Whale:

The story of the loneliest whale evokes a sense of empathy and contemplation within me. It serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of connection and the profound impact of loneliness on living beings. As humans, we can empathize with the yearning for companionship and the inherent need for social bonds.

The loneliest whale's plight compels us to reflect on our own lives and the connections we foster. It reminds us to cherish and nurture the relationships we have, to reach out to those who may feel isolated, and to work towards a world where no one is left unheard or unseen.

The loneliest whale's tale is one of mystery, solitude, and longing. Its haunting calls reverberate through the depths of the ocean, capturing our imaginations and reminding us of the power of connection. While the loneliest whale may swim alone, its story unites us in a shared appreciation for the beauty and fragility of life. And with that, I’m going to cry. Stay With Wonder!
