Jungles are overgrown with wild tangles of vegetation and dense forest. Jungles and rainforests are similar‚ but while rainforests have thick canopies of tall trees that block out light‚ jungles allow more light in‚ making it easier for plants to grow.

Jungles are home to a wide range of plants and animals. Over half of the world’s species
