What does it look like? Tip: It has nothing to do with trees.
Have you ever heard stories about terrifying killer fish? Here are some pictures from Jeremy Wade from the Discovery Channel, who travels around the globe in search of the toothiest and spikiest water creatures.
This torrent in the mountains went icebound and turned into the astonishing shiny glass surface.

Pripyat River, Chernobyl region, Ukraine.

You are not hallucinating. This river is truly of emerald green color. Learn more about it after the jump.
This happened on the River Ribble in Lancashire, England. A Labrador and his owner were walking along the shore when the dog strayed on to thin ice close to the center of the river and fell into the water. Witnesses of this drama shouted to the Labrador’s owner not to go after her pet, but she did what she did. Laying on her front, she was crawling out on the ice trying to get closer to the dog when the ice broke under her weight. Now the woman had to fight for her life in the icy water. Luckily, her partner rushed up and rescued her with the help of the dog lead. And what happened to the Labrador? Go inside this post to find out.

Two guys were fishing in a boat somewhere in a peaceful distant place when they saw someone was swimming towards them...
Who could it be?
Two carriages of a passenger train fell into a river on Thursday, August 19, after floods knocked out a bridge in southwestern China. They swept 200 meters down the river. No casualties were reported and no one was missing, as all 1,300 passengers had been ordered off the train before it derailed. Terrible experience for these people.
Tip: the red boat has nothing to do with it.
Take a look at these great pictures of how the river gets rid of ice. What an incredible sight!
This is how ‘spring’ has started in Australia. An unprecedented hailstorm hit Melbourne.
In several hours, it was impossible to drive on the road. In some areas of the city, the water depth on the streets reached half a meter.
EDIT: For those who are surprised to see SPRING instead of AUTUMN. It was written on purpose, that's why it was put into quotation marks..
Who would have predicted that ordinary rain can do that with a river in a such idyllic place of Mag-Aso falls on Bohol Island, Philippines.
Everything was normal when suddenly the water began to rise very quickly, the waterfall started to fall heavily and the river current accelerated.
The two guys who were in the water at that time found themselves trapped under the waterfall. This continued for several hours ... The bodies of two guys were found a couple days later, 5 km from this place that seemed to be a little piece of paradise...
These amazing pictures were taken by the professional diver Anatoly Beloshchin in the cave Cenote Angelita, Mexico. Here’s his description: “We are 30 meters deep, fresh water, then 60 meters deep – salty water and under me I see a river, island and fallen leaves… Actually, the river, which you can see, is a layer of hydrogen sulphide.”
It must be an unforgettable feeling once you’re there and see it with your own eyes.
Last weekend, the Yauza river, Russia, was covered in some place by foam normally used to extinguish fire.
I don’t know how it all happened but it must have been fun.
Giant six meter crocodiles inhabit the river Adelaide near the city of Darwin, Australia.
Along the river, so-called "jumping crocodile” cruises take place, during which visitors are invited to look at the terrible reptiles - the enormous crocodiles jumping out of water.
Frankly, I was shocked, I did not think that these monsters can jump so high.
The Caño Cristales is a river of Colombia about 100 km long that is located in the Sierra de la Macarena.
It was called the “River of five colors” or the most beautiful river in the world. Normally, the Caño Cristales is indistinguishable from another river. However, for a short period each year, thanks to its red, yellow, green and blue algae, the river "flourishes" in a rainbow of colors.
It can be said that the river is the biological heritage of humanity.
There are camping sites by the river. But on the river…I’ve never seen before.
It was invented and created in Holland. The sun, fresh air and water altogether. In other words – a great rest for a bunch of friends or a family.

Watch and learn, who knows maybe you'll need it some day;)
I’m not sure about the name of this river but it goes through very scenic areas.
And it is surrounded by real beauty and its water ... well, look for yourself.
