2011 – Widest Rapids (Cambodia Mekong River)
During monsoon season, the Mekong River on the border between Cambodia and Laos increases in volume by a factor of 20, flooding the Si Phan Don wetlands and creating an area of turbulent rapids 11-14 km (7-8.5 miles) wide. The flow rate here is twice that of Niagara Falls, with 10 million litres metres of water thundering its way through a maze of channels between the area's many islands every second.

Native to the Mekong River in Cambodia, Cantor's giant soft-shelled turtle (Pelochelys cantorii) spends 95% of its life motionless in sand on the river bottom waiting for prey to approach. It comes up to the water surface to breathe air only twice each day.
The Longest Alphabet
