Summary

A fact-filled celebration of some of the most remarkable rivers on Earth: indredible wildlife, from brown bears catching salmon that swim upstream to anacondas large enough to eat a pig. Astounding natural wonders, from a boiling river so hot you can cook an egg in it to a multicolored river that flows like a liquid rainbow. Awesome river traditions, from ritual baths to rubber duck racing to barefoot waterskiing
