The life of the most lonely animals on the planet

Most of these animals have to live alone or find an ideal partner to "vote" with.

Mating to maintain the race is an instinct of animals. However, on Earth there are wild animals that cannot find partners, or only exist independently and live a lonely life forever.

Except for the "FA" person, which animals are they?

1. George's turtle

Unexpectedly, the Galapagos island Pinta named George is one of the most lonely creatures in the world. Pinta tortoise is an endemic animal that only exists on the Galapagos Islands, discovered by humans in 1877.

Unfortunately, humans do not protect this rare animal and conduct hunting. At the end of the nineteenth century, the Pinta turtle disappeared completely and was declared extinct in the early twentieth century.

However, on December 1, 1971, a Hungarian mollusk researcher, Joseph Vagvolgyi, suddenly discovered a Pinta male tortoise. He named the turtle George and moved to the Charles Darwin Research Center to preserve and breed.

George was given to the pair of two other female Chelonoidis turtles - individuals considered closest to George. Scientists hope that George's good traits will be preserved through breeding. However, the sad thing is that the George turtle ignored all the flirtatious behavior of the two female turtles.

George has lived for over 100 years

After nearly 10 years, George's breeding efforts failed, though Darwin Center researchers gave a prize worth $ 10,000 (equivalent to 208 million VND) to anyone who found a female turtle. match with George. Scientists say the reason is that George feels alien to other turtles.

By June 24, 2012, George tortoise died. People estimate that George was over 100 years old, was born in the period of the number of Pinta species is declining rapidly. Many people believe that George tortoise was very sad when he saw his relatives and friends leave, and he lived alone for nearly 100 years.

2. Lonely whale 52Hz

In 1989, the team from Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute discovered a huge whale and emitted sound at 52Hz. This is considered "tragic" to itself when all other whales play sounds from 15-20Hz.

Therefore, 52Hz whale can never find his "half" and was named the world's most lonely creature.

Scientists at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute cannot determine the reason why the animal makes 52Hz sounds. They speculate that the whale may be the offspring of a blue whale and another species, so the sound has changed.

According to the New York Times, it is possible that the whale is deaf so try to make the voice loud.

Every year, the "lonely whale" moves tens of thousands of Km to desire to find a partner

Every year, 52Hz whales roam alone in the vast ocean to find their partners. He was often discovered in the Pacific Ocean from August to December, then moved north to the Kodiak Islands or south of the California coast.

Every day this individual whales swim more than 30 - 70km and constantly emit sounds earnestly calling their partners. It is estimated that the whale managed to get 11,062km per season and lasted for nearly 30 years, but never once did he get a true love.

3. Mangarahara fish

Mangarahara is an almost extinct tropical fish in the natural environment. There are only 3 individuals in the world to be cared for at the London Zoo and Berlin Zoo. Unfortunately, all three individuals are male and have lived for more than 12 years while their lifespan is only a maximum of 20 years.

That means the time to preserve this species is extremely small. So the zoo in Berlin and London considers it extremely urgent to find a partner for Mangarahara. They called on fish farmers to look for suitable individuals and were willing to pay up to thousands of dollars. But as time passed, the search for a partner for fish Mangarahara fell into a deadlock and despair.
