La ballena franca austral
Posted by admin on April 12th, 2008 filed in UncategorizedLa ballena franca austral es de los mamíferos más grande de América. Habita en los océanos Atlántico, Pacífico e Índico entre las latitudes 20 grados a 60 grados, tanto norte como sur.
Puede medir hasta 18 metros de largo. Es un animal de sangre caliente y puede mantener la respiración a grandes profundidades hasta por 50 minutos.
En el invierno, las ballenas emigran a aguas más calidas para reproducirse. Las crías nacen con 4 a 5 metros de largo. Las ballenas maduras pesan alrededor de 40 toneladas.
Las ballenas franca austral son cazadas para producir aceite. Por ese motivo se encuentran en peligro de extinción. Son animales muy vulnerables a los arponeros por su lentitud. Hay registrados 3000 ejemplares y cada ballena tiene cría cada tres años, lo que hace que su población crezca lentamente.

Hola Andres, mi nombre es Casey. I’m currently taking Spanish classes in Washington, DC with a native instructor. Actually I took first Spanish classes in Maryland, but I work in DC now and that's why I take the Spanish lessons in Washington, DC (with a native Spanish tutor). I just wanted to thank you for making this blog and for the articles you write. Like I mentioned, I’m a Spanish student, right now I consider myself to be in an intermediate level. I understand most of what I hear and talk some. I love speaking Spanish and the culture, the Latin American culture was what motivated me to start taking Spanish lessons. I plan to travel to Latin America (Antofagasta, Chile, donde vive lo primos de mi novio). I hope to find Spanish tutors there, since I want to speak Spanish perfectly well! I really like the articles you post. They are very helpful, they are not only interesting, but they also help me practice my Spanish. Even though I don’t understand some of what is written, it helps me a lot to see the words that I’ve learned in my Spanish class used in sentences. I attended even one of the meetups you are promoting on your web site www.learnspanishdc.com and I enjoyed it and learned really much.
