The hippopotamus is the third largest land animal, smaller only than the elephant and the rhinoceros Its name

comes from two Greek words which mean “river horse” The long name of this animal is often shortened to the easier to handle term “hippo.”

The hippo has a natural affinity for the water It does not float on top of the water; instead, it can easily walk

along the bottom of a body of water The hippo commonly remains underwater for three to five minutes and has been known to stay under for up to half an hour before coming up for air

In spite of its name, the hippo has relatively little in common with the horse and instead has a number of

interesting similarities in common with the whale When a hippo comes up after a stay at the bottom of a lake or river, it releases air through a blowhole, just like a whale In addition, the hippo resembles the whale in that they

both have thick layers of blubber for protection and they are almost completely hairless.

Most Americans still get married at some point in their lives, but even that group is shrinking Among current

generations of adult American – starting with those born in 1920s – more than 90 percent have married or will

marry at some point in their lives However, based on recent patterns of marriage and mortality, demographers calculate that a growing share of the younger generations are postponing marriage for so long that an

unprecedented number will never marry at all.

More Americans are living together outside of marriage Divorced and widowed people are waiting longer to remarry An increasing number of single women are raising children Put these trends together with our increasing life expectancy, and the result is inevitable Americans are spending a record low proportion of their adult lives married

Married rates for unmarried men and women have dropped from their post-1950s high to record lows Part of this fall is due to the change in the age at which people first marry The median age at first marriage is the age by which half the men or women who will ever marry have done so It fell almost continuously from the time it was first measured, in 1890, at 22.0 years for women and 26.1 for men, to a low of 20.3 for women and 22.6 for men

between 1947 and 1962 Since then, it has risen at a rapid pace, to a record high for 23.8 for women and 26.2 for

men in 1994

The length of time between marriages is also increasing, and more divorced people are choosing not to remarry

In 1990, divorced men had waited an average of 3.8 years before remarrying, and divorced women had waited an average of 3.5 years, an increase of more than one year over the average interval in 1970

Data on cohabitation and unmarried childbearing suggest that marriage is becoming less relevant to Americans

2.8 million of the nation’s households are unmarried couples, and one-third of them are caring for children,

according to the Census Bureau
