The ten most lonely things in the world

Do you sit alone and browse online lists over and over again for entertainment? Think of the Curiosity spacecraft that has to sing "Happy Birthday" to itself or the poor Lonesome George who spent his golden years surrounded by scientists and female turtles that he was obviously not interested in. Here are the most lonely things in the world, from the end creatures waiting for the end of their species to animals that can't communicate with their relatives.

10. Teneri Tree

The Teneri tree in the desert was the only tree to be 400 kilometres (250 mi) tall—a very useful landmark in the desert. It stood alone for 300 years, probably germinating when the desert was not actually a desert at all. But the tree became the only survivor since its childhood after a well was dug in 1938 giving it a steady source of water and food. Unfortunately, her proud stance against time and loneliness came to an abrupt end when a drunken driver managed to hit the lone obstacle for hundreds of miles.

Despite the discomfort, at least most people were impressed by the fact that he succeeded. The trunk is now housed in the National Museum of Niger, with a metal sculpture taking its place in the desert. Hopefully, the next drunken driver will at least avoid the metal tree.

9. Pisces 52 Hz

The blue whale is the loneliest whale in the world. While most whales speak (and hear each other) at a frequency of 10-39 Hz, the blue whale 52 calls out at a frequency of 52 Hz, which means that no other whales can hear it or even know it exists. And even humans have never seen a solitary whale. We only heard his song on marine sonar detectors. It is never accompanied by the call of another whale, and other whales will not hear it even if it is close to where they are. Although Pisces has inspired documentaries, albums, Twitter accounts and movies, it roams the oceans alone.

8. Toggi Frog

It is the last tree frog with hillock limbs. When it dies, the species will become extinct.

. He doesn't ski through Panama's rainforests or catch insects from his favorite leaves.Toughie lives in a gray shipping container called frogPOD in the Atlanta Botanical Garden. He lives there with 11 other rare species of frogs, but he is the only one that is certainly the last of his kind. Others may have been killed by a fungal infection that kills amphibians around the world, which is why many of them live as end animals in laboratories rather than roaming the rainforest. The last female of its kind died in 2009. Togi stopped contacting his comrades shortly after his capture. He never responded to the calls of recorded frogs and should now know that there is no one by him.

7. Curiosity spacecraft

The Curiosity spacecraft spent nearly four years on its own in space. On a planet light years away from home, but that's good, isn't it? He is just a robot and does not actually feel lonely or ask for a companion who will never come. Except for his birthday every year, little curiosity sings "Happy Birthday" to himself. It is the most lonely little robot in the known universe.

6. Hashima Lonely Island

About 25 kilometers (15 miles) from Nagasaki, there is an island that was home to more than 5,000 people. Even when Hashima was inhabited, the island experienced incredible brutality, with conscripted civilians and prisoners of war forced to work as slave laborers extracting coal from the mines there. But when Japan moved from coal to oil, there was no real sense in keeping people on the island. The coal mines were closed, and everyone who worked there left. After many years of isolation, Google Street View was allowed to visit the site and take large-scale photos. Since then, the island has been opened to tourists, but it remains uninhabited and not a single resident. There are no plans to use it as anything other than a World Heritage Site and a tourist attraction site.

5. Pit Man

He, the only survivor of the Amazon tribe, is building houses in the pits. Imagine everyone from your family, friends, and cultural group dying and leaving you alone in the world. Well, that's what happened to the pit man. We know practically nothing about him or the people with whom he shared his life. All we know is that he digs two meters (6 feet) deep pits in small palm houses on his small island in the Amazon rainforest. Researchers believe this is how he hunts. But no one has come into contact with him or anyone from his tribe, so we can't be sure. FUNAI (Indo-Brazilian National Foundation) investigated the man for the first time after rumors emerged of a lone man living in the forest. The nearby lumberjacks denied seeing them, but it may be because they were the ones who demolished his village in the first place. AFTER DECLARING THAT HE WAS THE SURVIVOR OF TWO SEPARATE MASSACRES THAT WIPED OUT HIS PEOPLE, FUNAI DECLARED THAT AN 80-SQUARE-KILOMETER (30-SQUARE-MILE) PLOT OF LAND AROUND HIM WAS OFF-LIMITS TO PEOPLE. It has traditionally been the land he inhabits and therefore belongs to as an indigenous person. Unfortunately, this announcement was not enough to prevent militants from attacking the crater man in 2009. Surprisingly, he managed to survive the attack and, as far as everyone knows, still lives alone in the woods, digging holes.

4. George the Only

George the Lonely was the last known turtle on Pinta Island, and was about 100 years old at the time of his death. Instead of living his golden years in some grace and contemplation, the park rangers constantly motivated him to mate with females from other subspecies. This is not easy for any turtle, let alone a century-old turtle. Unfortunately, even when old George managed to, the eggs did not hatch and everyone had to start over. He was finally released from those duties in 2012, and his remains have been prepared through embalming for display at a number of natural history centers. Unfortunately, there are now disagreements over where it should be displayed as the last of its kind. So it can be very difficult to go to see it.

3. The Last Dolphin Peggy

Peggi dolphins used to frolic in the Yangtze River, but they were declared functionally extinct in 2006 when no one could find a single dolphin in their natural habitat, in 2007, and luckily one Chinese man accidentally saw and took a video of him jumping on the surface of the river. It generally doesn't seem too worrying about the whole issue of extinction. Unfortunately, no other dolphins have been seen with him, and scientists have recently stated that they believe he is the last of his kind. Even if there were others, a small group would not be able to survive genetically to bring these dolphins back from extinction. So scientists are not willing to update the status of dolphins unless we find enough to create and maintain a good number of genetically diverse dolphins.

2. Solitary snail

Never think that snails feel lonely, but being the last of your kind in a reservoir in Bristol will probably make anyone feel a bit lonely. After being hunted and killed by a species of cannibalous snails, the small Polynesian gastropods were transported to Bristol for a fresh start. We hope that there will also be a slight increase in their numbers because they will not be ruthlessly pursued and eaten by their own kind. The species Partula faba – (a species so exotic that it did not get a non-Latin name) – became extinct in the wild at the time the breeding attempt was made in Bristol. In the end, they all died except for one last snail, and another final without a name. Unfortunately, she died in February 2016 with no hope of continuing exotic species of air-breathing tropical ground snails.

1. Humans

Yes right. Although humans communicate frequently on a daily basis, loneliness is now thought to be the next public health problem. With nearly 30% of people over the age of 80 saying they feel lonely, the latest studies have shown that men whose wives recently died have a 25% higher chance of dying within a decade compared to other men. Loneliness has a real biological impact on people's health, aging, and age. Unlike George the Turtle and the Died Frog and Curiosity the robot, we are not the last of our species or alone on a desolate planet. But loneliness still affects a large number of us. The media blames a variety of things: Facebook, the fact that a quarter of us live alone, and the stigma of recognizing loneliness. But this seems to be the next pandemic, which will affect people of all ages and in all social structures. Given that loneliness in humans increases the risk of death by more than 25%, we need to reduce the number of people who feel lonely. Currently, 10% of people in the UK "often feel lonely" and 48% of people believe we still feel lonely.
