Underwater, whales produce loud noises: known as songs. Scientists use whale songs to study the movements for migrations, of groups of whales. Recently, scientists discovered something unusual: a single, solitary whale whose song is unlike that of all other known whales. The most notable difference between this unusual whale's song and those of other whales is its high pitch or frequency This unique whale is called the 52-hertz whale because it sings at the unusual frequency of 52 hertz, a much higher pitch than normal. When the 52-hertz whale was first detected, the cause of its uniquely high-pitched song was unknown; however, scientists now have several theories to explain it.
One theory holds that the 52-hertz whale may be a hybrid: the offspring of two different whale species Whales of different species are known to interbreed and produce hybrid offspring that combine characteristics from each of their parents' species. As a hybrid, the whale may have a unique song, different from that of either of its parents because it resulted from a combination of the two
A second theory is that the 52-hertz whale may have a damaged sense of hearing Just as people learn to speak by copying the sounds they hear, whales may learn to sing by listening to the sounds of other whales songs. When people are born deaf, their speech may sound different from that of people born hearing. Similarly, the 52-hertz whale’s songs may sound different simply because it cannot hear the songs of other whales.
A third theory holds that the 52-hertz whale may be the only known member of a rare species Perhaps there were once many more whales of this species, but most are now gone. It seems to be entirely unique only because most of its species has died out.
According to what the reading passage expressed, scientists have heard a different sound frequency and suggested several theories but, as the professor has explained in the lecture the several theories are flawed.
The 52-hertz whale may be an offspring of two different whale species that can not be true. Ss the professor said hybrids migrate with other normal whales, so the whale with 52-hertz must migrate with other wales even if the hybrid does not it, that would mean this whale is not a hybrid and migrates alone.
The 52-hertz whale may have a damaged sense of hearing is flawed. According to what the professor has explained in the lecture, the 52-hertz whale may have caused by a different physical structure of throat, and this structure has led to an unusual frequency, so it can not be produced by a whale that can not hear because a whale with a poor ability to hear can not produce such a loud sound.
The theory that the 52-hertz whale may be a rare species that many of them have gone is false because, as the professor expressed, this rare whale has to have parents, but scientists who have always heard the whale songs, did not hear this sound for other species that might be the parents. As a result, this theory can not be True.
