World's largest rivers
0:01
All right, we're starting with one of the smallest rivers in the world and working our way up. So we've got the Royal River in North America
0:06
Look how cute it is. Look at the little guy. 61 meters in length. Nice bit of yellow line
0:11
Nice. So I'm guessing we're going to have quite the step up. And yes, we are. We've got the Northly River, which is in North America
0:16
800 meters. And then the Singapore River, 3.2 kilometers, which is still pretty small
0:22
Strange place to put the Eiffel Tower. Okay, I'm assuming from there. Oh yeah, it looks like we're having quite a big step up
0:27
I wonder how many of these rivers I'm actually going to recognize. The Manzaneras
0:31
I have never heard of it, but it's 92 kilometers large. By the way, very quickly, before we get back to our epic rivers
0:37
first ever Jackson's Drogs of the Merge is currently available for the next, like, week and a half. Look at the huge earth on the back
0:42
It's epic. Look how cool the design is. Available in t-shirts, available in hoodies, available in white, available in black
0:48
Cheers. Oh, here we go. River Thames. That is a river I've heard of. 346 kilometers in length
0:54
That's crazy. That feels too wide for the UK, but you know what? It's not in a straight line, is it? It's got all the meanders. So the length includes all of the bends
1:01
So then we've got the river Seine, which is in Europe, 700 kilometers
1:05
And now we've zoomed out far enough that you can see the UK and we're heading into France
1:09
So that really allows you to visualize this better. So the Vistule, 1000 kilometers, bloody massive
1:15
It would take you all the way from Cornwall to the Netherlands. Then we've got the Senegal River, which is obviously in Africa, 1086 kilometers
1:23
Oh, and then this one's all pointy. It's the Rhine River, also in Europe
1:27
and then the Brazos River back to North America. Tigris, what is going to be the largest river
1:32
It's the Nile, isn't it? And then I think the second largest is the Congo, and then the third
1:37
largest is the Amazon. That's my prediction anyway, that's top three, so stay till the end to find out
1:43
if I'm correct or not. Right, the Colorado River, that's ginormous. We're so zoomed out at this point
1:48
that we nearly at the length of Europe so you can see the Ganges 2 kilometres If that was in a straight line it would stretch all the way from Norway easily down to the Mediterranean Okay another Asian river the Amur I don think we have any more Europe ones because Europe just not a big enough continent at this point So it probably just
2:05
going to be a lot of North America and Asia. And I guess we won't have any oceanic ones either
2:09
will we? Maybe we will. Will there be a big Australian river? I don't think so. I wonder
2:13
if we'll have any Antarctic rivers. I don't even know if you get Antarctic rivers. Oh
2:17
It's the mississippi. That's a river i've heard of and then what else we got
2:22
Utreche which is in asia 4 000 kilometers. So that's ginormous god
2:26
I'm, so excited to see the big fellas. Oh, what's this river? It's a river
2:30
It's the congo river is the amazon river next is this the third largest
2:34
I thought this was the second largest, but i'm clearly wrong. Oh my god. That is huge. Look at the earth
2:38
What's the next one gonna be the yellow river? I've not even heard of the yellow river the yangtis river
2:43
I've not heard of that one either. Oh, this is the worst. This is just embarrassing at this point. The next one's got to be the Amazon, surely
2:49
There, it's right there. It's right in front of me. I literally, I was so focused here. I didn't see that
2:52
Okay, I understand. Right, so the Amazon River, 6,575 kilometers inland. So you can see that if this was straight
2:58
it would easily stretch across North Africa, which is ginormous. We've had the Congo River
3:02
I thought that was the second biggest. We've had the Amazon River. I thought that was the third biggest
3:07
but it turns out there's all these Asian rivers that I had not heard of. But now, surely, we're going to end on the Nile
3:12
There cannot be a river bigger than the Nile. That's the biggest one. And there's the Nile
3:16
6,650 kilometers. That is gigantic. Oh, hang on. Amazon Congo, possible river of the past
3:24
Apparently, this river would have been over 10,000 kilometers. And then there's a West
3:28
Siberian glacial drainage. I love West Siberian glacial lake drainage. Apparently, that ancient
3:34
river was also over 10,000 kilometers. Wow. Look at the earth. Incredible. Right, I'll answer
3:40
you there's a bunch of giant rivers that i've never heard of let me know if you knew about them in the comments down below massive shout out to metaball studios as always incredible animation
3:48
