Rio Grande

Categories: Geography | North America | Travel
  • Known in the United States as Rio Grande, in Mexico as Rio Bravo del Norte, the long river serves as a natural boundary between the two countries. The river begins in Colorado, winds through New Mexico, serves as the border between Texas and Mexico, before emptying out into the Gulf of Mexico. The river has its own ecosystem and is home to much wildlife, including dragonflies, fish, butterflies, frogs, newts, turtles, snakes, birds and mammals like mice, rats, and cat species.
  • Big River

    The name Rio Grande means Big River in Spanish. Since rio means river, to say Rio Grande River would be redundant. In America it is pronounced both "Rio Grand" and "Rio Granday," the latter pronunciation being the Spanish way.
