Meet the Clydesdale. The Clydesdale breed once almost faced extinction. Even though there is little practical use for heavy horses today because their muscle power has been replaced by machinery, breeders and enthusiasts have ensured that the breed is increasing, rather diminishing in numbers.
1 Over the three decades, the twin birth rate rose by 76 percent, from 18.9 to 33.2 per 1,000 births (or from 1.9 percent to 3.3 percent of all births) (Figure 1). 2  Increases in the twin birth rate averaged more than 2 percent a year from 1980 through 2004 (peaking at more than 4 percent from 1995 to 1998).
It may seem less but it's 765 because twins are born every 10 minutes. The answer is increasing every minute. But a good figure is 490,0â¦00 new births every day.Every day in 1997, about 365 000 babies were born, and about 140  000 people died, giving a natural increase of about 220 000 people  a day.
