WHAT IS A JUNGLE?A jungle is land covered with dense vegetation dominated by trees.

ETYMOLOGYThe word jungle originates from the Sanskrit word jangala, translating in uncultivated land.

DENSE VEGETATIONOne of the most common meanings of jungle is land overgrown with tangled vegetation at ground level, especially in the tropics.

DENSE VEGETATIONThe vegetation is sufficiently dense to hinder movement by humans, requiring that travellers cut their way through.
This definition draws a distinction between rainforest and jungle, since the understorey of rainforests is typically open of vegetation due to a lack of sunlight, and hence relatively easy to traverse.

JUNGLE ANIMALSA complete list of jungle animals would take you weeks to read, since there are millions of animals living in the world’s jungles. About half of all the animal species on earth—mammals, birds, insects, amphibians and reptiles—would be on that list of jungle animals.
