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:

Just imagine that massive mammal, floating alone and singing—too big to connect with any of the beings it passes, feeling paradoxically small in the vast stretches of empty, open ocean.

Aw.. the lonely soprano whale ~ belt it out sister.

“She’s never had a lover”
So sad.
You know what?
I’ll do it.
I’ll make love to this whale.
