Mary Middling had a pig
Not very little and not very big,
Not very pink, not very green,
Not very dirty, not very clean,
Not very good, not very naughty,
Not very humble, not very haughty,
Not very thin, not very fat;
Now what would you give for a pig like that?

How much does a hippo weigh?
A hippo can weigh more than 4,000 pounds! They can measure five feet tall and twelve feet long. Despite their large size, however, hippos can actually outrun humans. Recent DNA evidence suggests that hippos may be related to whales.
