10 Things I learned from the video:
1. Ponds support 50% of the species
2. Rivers started our civilizations
3. Lake Victoria flows into the Nile
4. Only plants that have extremely strong roots can survive
5. mankind relies most heavily on rivers
6. 1/3 of the world's water supply is in the amazon
7. China's rivers are considered the mightiest rivers
8. around 1 million people die each year from Milaria, which is carried by mosquitos
9. Hippos are the biggest freshwater mammal
10.Lillies are the symbol of eternal life
Similarities between ponds and rivers:
