Здравейте на всички!
Аз току що се регистрирах, не знам дали е тук мястото на тази тема, но ме вълнува един въпрос. Ще се радвам ако ми помогнете да разбера, или по-точно къде мога да прочета, каква е максималната дължина на гърбатия кит???
Благодаря ви предварително

Добрия стар Google.
Гърбатия кит достига до 15-16 метра дължина и до 48 тона тегло.
"Humpback whales grow to be about 52 feet (16 m) long, weighing 30-50 tons (27-45 tonnes)."
"A humpback whale can reach maximum lengths up to 50 feet (15 m) and can weigh up to 48 tons."

AMERICAN CETACEAN SOCIETY FACT SHEET
HUMPBACK WHALE
Megaptera novaeangliae
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
The head of a humpback whale is broad and rounded when viewed from above, but slim in profile. The body is not as streamlined as other rorquals, but is quite round, narrowing to a slender peduncle (tail stock). The top of the head and lower jaw have rounded, bump-like knobs, each containing at least one stiff hair. The purpose of these hairs is not known, though they may allow the whale to detect movement in nearby waters. There are between 20-50 ventral grooves which extend slightly beyond the navel.
COLOR
The body is black on the dorsal (upper) side, and mottled black and white on the ventral (under) side. This color pattern extends to the flukes. When the humpback whale "sounds" (goes into a long or deep dive) it usually throws its flukes upward, exposing the black and white patterned underside. This pattern is distinctive to each whale. The flippers range from all white to all black dorsally, but are usually white ventrally.
FINS AND FLUKES
About 2/3 of the way back on the body is an irregularly shaped dorsal (top) fin. Its flippers are very long, between 1/4 and 1/3 the length of its body, and have large knobs on the leading edge. The flukes (tail), which can be 18 feet (5.5 m) wide, is serrated and pointed at the tips.
LENGTH AND WEIGHT
Adult males measure 40-48 feet (12.2-14.6 m), adult females measure 45-50 feet (13.7-15.2 m). They weigh 25 to 40 tons (22,680-36,287 kg).
FEEDING
Humpback whales feed on krill, small shrimp-like crustaceans, and various kinds of small fish. Each whale eats up to 1 and 1/2 tons (1,361 kg) of food a day. As a baleen whale, it has a series of 270-400 fringed overlapping plates hanging from each side of the upper jaw, where teeth might otherwise be located. These plates consist of a fingernail-like material called keratin that frays out into fine hairs on the ends inside the mouth near the tongue. The plates are black and measure about 30 inches (76 cm) in length. During feeding, large volumes of water and food can be taken into the mouth because the pleated grooves in the throat expand. As the mouth closes water is expelled through the baleen plates, which trap the food on the inside near the tongue to be swallowed.
MATING AND BREEDING
Humpback whales reach sexual maturity at 6-10 years of age or when males reach the length of 35 feet (11.6 m) and females reach 40 feet (12 m). Each female typically bears a calf every 2-3 years and the gestation period is 12 months. A humpback whale calf is between 10-15 feet (3-4.5 m) long at birth, and weighs up to 1 ton (907 kg). It nurses frequently on the mother's rich milk, which has a 45% to 60% fat content. The calf is weaned to solid food when it is about a year old.
DISTRIBUTION AND MIGRATION
Found in all the world's oceans, most populations of humpback whales follow a regular migration route, summering in temperate and polar waters for feeding, and wintering in tropical waters for mating and calving. In the Arabian Sea, a year-round non-migratory population of humpbacks appears not to follow this general rule.
NATURAL HISTORY
At least 3 different species of barnacles are commonly found on both the flippers and the body of the humpback whale. It is also home for a species of whale lice, Cyamus boopisHumpback whales are active, acrobatic whales. They can throw themselves completely out of the water (breaching), and swim on their backs with both flippers in the air. They also engage in "tail lobbing" (raising their huge flukes out of the water and then slapping it on the surface) and "flipper slapping" (using their flippers to slap the water). It is possible that these behaviors are important in communication between humpbacks.Perhaps the most interesting behavior of humpback whales is their "singing." Scientists have discovered that humpback whales sing long, complex "songs". Whales in the North American Atlantic population sing the same song, and all the whales in the North American Pacific population sing the same song. However, the songs of each of these populations and of those in other areas of the world are uniquely different. A typical song lasts from 10-20 minutes, is repeated continuously for hours at a time, and changes gradually from year to year. Singing whales are males, and the songs may be a part of mating behavior.
STATUS
Because their feeding, mating, and calving grounds are close to shore and because they are slow swimmers, the humpback whales were an easy target for early whalers. The International Whaling Commission (IWC) gave them worldwide protection status in 1966, but there were large illegal kills by the Soviets until the 1970's. It is believed they number about 30,000-40,000 at present, or about 30-35% of the original population.

Хм... Има онлайн преводачи за тази работа, а и речникът вероятно ти прашасва в библиотеката.
Информация за всичко има в библиотеката!
Да беше казала, че си дошла за превод всъщнност! 
"Adult males measure 40-48 feet (12.2-14.6 m), adult females measure 45-50 feet (13.7-15.2 m). They weigh 25 to 40 tons (22,680-36,287 kg)."
Възрастните мъжки достигат 40-48 фута (12.2-14.6 m), а възрастните женски - 45-50 фута (13.7-15.2 m). Тежат 25 - 40 тона (22,680-36,287 kg).
А ако позабършеш и речника, то домашното, или каквото там пишеш, направо ти е готово...
Подрави и има една вълшебна дума, апропо!

Съжалявам ако сте ме разбрали погрешно. Нямам да пиша домашна (отдавна съм минала тази възраст - някъде в регистрацията си писах рожденната дата), не ми трябва и превод на цели статии. Просто съм въвлечена в един спор единствено и само за дължината на този гърбат кит.
Да, ако можех да се оправям с речници и подобни, нямаше да търся вашето съдействие.
А и ако не се лъжа все пак, помолих за помощ и благодарих предварително. Не съм карала някой на сила.

Аз никъде не виждам да се карам на някого, а просто пояснявам каква е ситуацията, като при това мисля, че използвам много възпитан "тон" на писане.
А колкото до рожденната дата - след забележката погледнах и наистина не виждам в профила ми да я пиши, но когато си правех регистрацията я попълних и аз нямам вина, че не е запомнено.
Благодаря ви още веднъж за отговорите.
