The Congo River is one of the deepest in the world, reaching depths of 720 feet. The river also has the second largest flow of water in the world, only beaten by the Amazon River. The river has 700 known species of fish in its waters, with the possibility of more being discovered in the future. There are large sections that have yet to be studied which may reveal more about the species in the river and the river itself.
