Mysterious signals from lone, unidentifiable whale tracked for 12yrs(mutant?)

Researchers using sensitive data from the navy have, since 1992, been tracking a mysterious whale that makes songs that resemble no others:

"The partially declassified records show that a lone whale singing at around 52 hertz has cruised the ocean every autumn and winter since 1992. Its calls do not match those of any known species, although they are clearly those of a baleen whale, a group that includes blue, fin and humpback whales."

Though whales, as a whole, are not 'cryptids'... this individual is because its means of communication appear to be radically different from all others in its genus. Drastic changes in communication styles, within a species or individual, often indicate that major changes have occured within the brain(s) of that species or individual.

So... have these scientists discovered a mutant whale???

Now this is really intresting indeed. This has really got me thinking

There is already a discussion on this whale here:
www.abovetopsecret.com...

its interesting, you should jump in there.

my guess is it isnt a mutant but a new species or it has evolved because their that "chupacabra" dog thing im saying its a dog or an evolution not seen before anything can happen and everyone on this website knows it.

I have no idea what you just said

if it was a new species then it would be all alone.

It seams to BE all alone.
Maybe it was just born with a messed up vocal box???? I bet they who track it would LOVE to actually SEE it, to see if it is indeed a mutant, or just has comunication problems......
