There probably weren't even 13 million in the Congo at the time. There are a number of estimates, and a reasonably high-end estimate puts the number at around 10.7 million. This is just a popilation estimate; not even an estimate of the number that died. Hell, there's even an estimate that says the population grew from 1890 to 1910. Here's a video people won't like.

I always love watching that show untill he picks the gloves and shoves his entire arm into the hole of a cow, donkey or horse.

Then i suddenly regret watching it, while eating and pretend like the show doesnt exist for 3 months. Then i forget why i never watch it and the cycle repeats.

No, cows generally have one and many don't survive having twins. I don't remember the exact amount but less than 5% of births are twins, and usually they are undersized due to lack of space. The fact this girl managed to have full size twins unassisted with both babies and momma surviving is shocking.
