Footage by bluelifewild // Blue whale vocalizations are very low frequency sounds with some in the 15 Hz range.

This enables their songs to be heard thousands of miles from the source. We can assume that the projection distance is important (Nature can be extravagant, but she is never wasteful), but we can only speculate why they need to broadcast their son
