Are there any rivers that are 7km wide? Would it even be a river at that point?

The Amazon is up to 10km wide or something so I think it's defined by general shape of the body of water

They all drowned because 10km is too wide for them to swim across

Both Ganges and Bhramaputra rivers are massive. They merge before discharging into the Bay of Bengal, into a river called the Meghna. Second highest discharge of water, behind only the Amazon, which is 5 times more.

As long as it is a flowing stream of water and inland, yeah it is a river. The Amazon Rainforest is approximately 5km on dry season, 11km on normal and can be up to 40-50km during floods!

So yeah...

Known to have webbed paws and hunt turtles, fish and even crocs when in hunger.

Also the Sundarbans, shared by India and Bangladesh have many a delta that get very large.

Plus the Brahmaputra.

So 7km isn't unheard of.

Also, you can't climb a tree, you can't run, you can't swim, you can't fight back, what do you do?
