Rahad River
The Rahad is a river that flows in Ethiopia and eastern Sudan. The sources of this river are in Ethiopia, where it is called Shinfa, and a tributary of the Abay (Blue Nile) on the right side. The river has its origins in the Ethiopian Highlands (west of Lake Tana), from where it flows 480 km (300 mi) into eastern Sudan. In Sudan, it merges into the Blue Nile.
A black-maned Sudan lion was described from this river.
