About

This meme was based on a Baleen Whale who is known to only communicate at 52Hz, whereas other whales communicate at 15-25Hz. He is the only one of his kind, and is thought to either be a hybrid between two species, or the last of his species due to over-hunting. It is also thought that he may just have deformed vocal chords^[1].

Origin

The first "The World's Loneliest Whale" meme in it's most used (and current template) (made by Reddit user Mr_Cutestory) appeared approximately 9 hours after a TIL (Today I learned) post by Reddit user EscapetheMachine on 18/5/12. ^[2]

Spread

The TIL post reached Reddit's front page, and Mr_Cutestory's post^[3] also reached the front page quickly as well. Several other variations were quickly made, although few so far have reached the same popularity as the original.
