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
