1) observe the figures (numbers) in the text and convert the measures to the equivalents in our metric system (they can be approximated), in Portuguese:
qual o tamanho da piscina? 1219,196 centímetros por 1219,196 centímetros

qual o tamanho e o peso de uma baleia adulta? 1676,3945 centímetros = 55 feet 37 toneladas
e quanto mede um elefante? 1676,3945 centímetros

quanto ela come por dia e quanto cabe em seu estômago? eat 2,400 pounds = 1,0872 kilos of food daily, and needs a 660-pound meal = 298,98 to fill its stomach.


2) scan the text and try to find compound-complex adjectives, like the one below:
“newborn gray whale calf”
- ‘calf’ is a noun and the words that precede it are (or are functioning as) adjectives;
There are five more like this; (look for the following nouns: program, specialists, tube pool and whale).
veterinarians and animal care specialists
killer whale breeding program
signs of infection or other health problems
