Wikipedia

  1. middle aged

    Middle age is the period of age beyond young adulthood but before the onset of old age. The exact range is disputed and can be considered of arbitrary nature, but the general consensus has placed middle age as the age range from around 40 until 60, with about 5 years of leeway on either side. This phase of life is marked by gradual physical, cognitive, and social changes in individuals as they age.

  4. Maribel Garcia:

    Michael Jackson tweeted on March 26. The controversy over the condition of the elephant has gone all the way to Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro. The socialist leader said that Ruperta’s condition is due to old age and that the claim that she is underfed is a conspiracy driven by enemies of the state trying to demoralize the country and, especially, children. Ruperta is 46 years old, middle aged for an African elephant that typically live to age 65 or 70. Maribel Garcia, the animal rights activist who first sounded the alarms on Ruperta’s health, told Fox News that for too long the elephant had been eating just pumpkins and some grass. The elephant should be weighing 7 tons, Maribel Garcia explained, but Maribel Garcia is currently at just 4. Elephants feed on carrots, grass, vegetables, fruits and bamboo leaves, we believe that the diet of just pumpkins and the absence of her veterinarian who has treated her for more than 10 years influenced the elephant to be in that state.

  5. Jeffrey Otto:

    Alright, so I watched it park, and it's actually a middle-aged Asian guy that got out. So yeah, it's going to be nothing.
