Spanish Hound
Descended from the white Talbot Hound, ancestors of the Spanish Hound are largely the same as those of Bloodhound, but because it lived in isolation on the Iberian peninsular the breed remained pure. There have, however, been two sizes of the breed although the smaller, the Lebrero, is now all but extinct. When tracking game, which it does willingly for hour upon hour, this breed usually works alone, with just human companionship. The breed is still used as a gundog, and also as a companion and watchdog.
White is the predominant color with either red or black markings on the short coat. The eyes are chestnut in color and the nose blends with the color of the hair surrounding it. Although not tall, standing 45-56 cm (18-20 in) high, this is a sturdy breed weighing 20-25 kg (45-55 lb). Longer than it is high, this reasonably long-headed breed has long, pedant ears. The breed is rather temperamental and caution should be exercised with strangers, children and other dogs. | Translation - Spanish
Sabueso español
Descendientes del talbot blanco, los ancestros del sabueso español son muy parecidos a los del bloodhound pero, dado su aislamiento en la Península Ibérica, la raza se ha conservado pura. Existen, no obstante, dos tamaños de la raza, aunque el más pequeño, el lebrero, está extinguido. El sabueso español sigue el rastro con decisión y aguante, en solitario, con la única compañía de su amo. En la actualidad, esta raza se sigue utilizando como perro de muestra, pero también como perro de guarda y de compañía.
El color predominante de su capa corta es el blanco, con manchas rojas o negras. Los ojos son castaños y el color de la trufa se confunde con el del pelo colindante. Aunque no es alto, pues mide alrededor de 18 a 20 cm, es un perro robusto que pesa entre 20 y 25 kg. Más largo que alto, esta raza de cabeza alargada tiene las orejas largas y colgantes. Es un perro temperamental, lo cual exige cautela en presencia de niños y desconocidos así como de otros perros. | English to Spanish: Mountain Lion - El Puma
General field: Science
Detailed field: Zoology | Source text - English
The mountain lion (Puma concolor) - also generally known as the puma or cougar - is very adaptable, ranging from the Canadian Yukon to the southern tip of South America and from the seashores to snowy peaks. Any area with sufficient cover and food will provide a suitable habitat: forest, grassland, or swamp. A rocky outcrop or cave provides a safe temporary den but the mountain lion will wander at will throughout its territory, which can be immense: some males have territories extending to 500 square miles (about 1,300 sq km).
Adult males (up to 40 percent bigger than females) grow to a maximum shoulder height of about 30 inches (76 cm), a head-and-body lenght of 8 feet (2,4 m) and a weight of 225 lb (102 kg). The thick tail - up to 32 inches (82 cm) long in males - is big enough, according to native American folklore, to whip waves and storms on the Great Lakes but is actually used to aid balance, particularly when making the prodigious jumps for aid balance, particularly when making the prodigious jumps for which this cat is renowned. It can cover almost 40 feet (12 m) in a single leap, its unusually long hind legs providing the power.
The Florida panther (P. c. coryi), one of 24 sub-species, is the only wild cat living east of the Mississippi. Found in Florida, Arkansas and Louisiana, it was given protection in 1958, listed as endangered in 1977, and added legal safeguards were introduced in 1978. Like other mountain cats, it lives to about 12 years old in the wild. Males are up to 7 feet (2.1 m) long (including tail) and weight about 106-148 lb (48-67 kg); females grow to 6 feet (1,8 m) and 66-100 lb (30-45 kg). | Translation - Spanish
El puma (Puma concolor), también conocido con el nombre de león de montaña, es un félido muy adaptable y está presente desde la cuenca canadiense del Yukón hasta el extremo sur de Sudamérica, y desde la orilla del mar hasta las cimas nevadas. Cualquier zona que cuente con cierta cobertura vegetal y alimento suficiente puede ser adecuada para él: bosques, praderas o pantanos. Un promontorio rocoso o una cueva son cobijo temporal para este animal, que recorre sin descanso su amplio territorio; los dominios de algunos machos pueden alcanzar los 1.300 km2.
Los machos adultos, hasta un 40% más grandes que las hembras, alcanzan una altura en la cruz de 76 cm y una longitud del cuerpo de 2,4 m, con un peso de 102 kg. Según los nativos americanos, la gruesa cola de los machos, de hasta 80 cm de largo, es lo suficientemente grande para desatar olas y tempestades en los Grandes Lagos. Sin embargo, el puma la utiliza en realidad para mantener el equilibrio, en particular cuando realiza saltos prodigiosos que pueden superar distancias de casi 12 m, impulsado por sus poderosas extremidades traseras, inusualmente largas.
La "pantera de Florida" (P. c. coryi) es una de las 24 subespecies de puma que existen y el único felino salvaje que sobrevive al este del río Misisipí. Presente en Florida, Arkansas y Louisiana, el puma de Florida recibe protección desde 1958. En 1977 fue declarado un animal en peligro de extinción y, al año siguiente, se le otorgó salvaguarda legal. Como los otros pumas, vive unos 12 años en estado salvaje. Los machos tienen una longitud de hasta 2,1 m, cola incluida, y un peso que oscila entre 48 y 67 kg; las hembras alcanzan 1,8 m y 30-45 kg. |
