Un jovial ballenato de Yubarta o Ballena Jorobada salta en las cercanías de Islas Secas.
Son engendrados en estas aguas y luego de 11 a casi 12 meses de gestación, sus madres regresan durante el invierno austral a parir alrededor de Islas Secas.
Al nacer miden de 10 a 18 pies de largo (3 a 4.5 metros) y pesan unas 1980 libras (900 kilos).
Beben 130 galones (495L) de leche por dia. La leche es tan grasosa que flota en el agua como si fuera queso. El ballenato crece 1 pulgada (2.5cm) por dia y en su primer año duplica su tamaño.
Con ustedes el MAYOR de los secanos.

A joyful calf of Yubarta or Humpback Whale jumps in the vicinity of Islas Secas.
They are sired in these waters and after 11 to almost 12 months of gestation, their mothers return during the southern winter to give birth around Islas Secas.
At birth they are 10 to 18 feet long (3 to 4.5 meters) and weigh about 1980 pounds (900 kilos).
They drink 130 gallons (495L) of milk per day. Milk is so greasy that it floats on the water like cheese. The calf grows 1 inch (2.5cm) per day and in its first year it doubles in size.
With you the GREATEST of the "Secanos"
