It’s #WorldWaterDay! Did you know the iconic Amazon River is actually more than one river? The Amazon connects hundreds of rivers and streams, vast floodplains, and wetlands that cover a wide patch of South America. Like a central highway through a busy city, the Amazon River creates a pathway for animals to find new sources of food, mating grounds, or safe spaces away from predators. | World Wildlife Fund

Did you know 🧠 The Amazon river is the largest river on Earth by volume of water, reaching an elevation of 18,366 feet (5,598 m) above sea level. Flowing for 4,000 miles (6,400 km), it is the second-longest river after the Nile. The Amazon River is at least 66 feet (20 m) deep at any particular point and up to 330 feet (100 m) deep at the deepest points. Across, it’s 1 to 6.2 miles (1.6 to 10 km) wide during the dry season, but it can reach 30 miles (48 km) in width at the height of the wet sea
