    Crazy facts about the Congo River : in these 'narrow' parts like here the depht can be more than 600 feet, with a current so violent it act like a barrier even for the fish.
    Scientists have discovered some species on a side of the river that had evolved differently than their counterparts from the opposite bank!

  • @TheWinterShadow
    @TheWinterShadow Před 4 lety +892

    He can't drown and knows it. One of his balls is steel and the other one is a flotation device. When in the water he leans to one side to float up and the other side to sink. It's a new phenomenon called Ball Rotary.
