While scientists have attempted to explain the 52 hertz whale’s unusual song, each of their theories is flawed and the whale’s uniqueness remains a mystery.
First, it’s unlikely that the 52 hertz whales are hybrid, its migration pattern is too unusual. All hybrid whales that we know follow the migration patterns of non-hybrid whales and so all hybrids typically travel together with normal whales. If the 52 hertz whale were a hybrid, it would likely do the same. By listening to the locations of the 52 hertz whale song, however, scientists have been able to determine that it does not migrate alongside other whales. Unlike all other known hybrids, it has its own unusual migration pattern and migrates alone.
Second, deafness or poor hearing cannot really explain one important feature of the 52 hertz whale’s song. It’s extremely high pitch. The pitch actually depends upon the physical structure of the whale’s throat. You see, just like in humans, the vocal sounds that a whale makes originate in its vocal apparatus. To produce a song of such an extremely high pitch, the throat structure of this particular whale must be very unusual and this unusual throat structure cannot be caused by a damaged sense of hearing because there is typically no connection between hearing and throat structure.
Third, it’s also unlikely that the 52 hertz whale is the only known member of a rare species. Even if the species was rare, the whales had to have parents. Those parents would have also sung at the 52 hertz frequency. But the technology that detects whale sounds underwater has been in use for many decades, so if other 52 hertz whales, such as the parents of today’s whale, had been around at a relatively recent time, scientists would have heard them, but no such whale songs have ever been heard before this one.
The reading states that a unique whale known as a 52-hertz whale with the uncommon feature is a song with a high pitch of nearly 52 hertz and provides three reasons for supporting it. However, the professor explains that that specific feature remains a mystery and refutes each author's reasons.
First, the article claims that the 52-hertz whale is likely the hybrid whale, which means its parent are from two different species of whales. The professor opposes this point by saying that hybrid whales, like other whales, have a migration pattern. Not only the 52-hertz whale do not follow that pattern, but it has its migration route and does this alone.
Second, the reading posits that the unusual sound is related to the whale's hearing system, which probably may be damaged. In contrast, the professor says that this unique sound originates from the throat, and the physical structure of the throat plays an important role in this unusual sound. He also states that there is no connection between hearing and throat structure.
Third, the article says that the 52-hertz whale likely belongs to one particular species. The professor casts doubt on this point by explaining that any species has own family, at least parents, but there are no evidence of other sounds similar to this kind of the 52-hertz whale' sound. Of course, if there were particular species, there would be this sound of others.
