Ranking 9 Of The Most Dangerous Rivers In The World Based On Their Wildlife
All life on earth depends on freshwater but less than 3 per cent of the water on our planet is fresh.
Some of the worlds most interesting and diverse ecosystems are freshwater ecosystems and these ecosystems support many fish, amphibian, mammal, reptile, insect and bird species.
Around the world there are many different major rivers and each of these rivers can be extremely dangerous.
Strong currents and rapids can easily catch you out and hidden obstacles below the surface can cause serious injury.
In today's video I will be ranking the 9 of the most dangerous rivers in the world from least dangerous to most dangerous.
But instead of focusing on hidden or sometimes obvious dangers, I will be focusing on the wildlife in the rivers.
