Tiger and Tim’s Jungle Adventure

 

Hey, Tiger Cubs! I’m so excited about our latest episode! Have you seen it?

In Tim and I’s new adventure, we went to a lush and sprawling jungle! There are many different kinds of wild animals in the jungle, as well as plants and trees. More than half of the species in the world live in the wilderness, including me!

Is it a jungle or a rainforest?

A lot of humans usually get confused between a jungle and a rainforest. Some think they are the same and can’t point out the differences.

Jungles and rainforests are quite alike, actually. Huge trees and small plants grow densely (close to each other) in the wild and the rainforest. Both places are hot and humid, and there is frequent rain, too. Good thing that Tim brought his handy umbrella when we went!

The most significant difference between the two is that the trees in the rainforest have layers, called canopies. The canopies make it difficult for the sun to reach the ground. Sunlight is more common in the jungle, that’s why plants grow thickly on the floor, much more so than in the rainforest.

The most famous jungle is probably the Amazon. It is so big that it is located in over nine countries! No talk about the jungle is complete without mentioning India’s vast wilderness, which inspired the classic novel by Rudyard Kipling called “The Jungle Book”. 

Jungle Animals

Aside from me, there are so many other cool animals in the jungle. We’re all friends, of course! Most of the time!

We met several wild animals as we were walking in the jungle. Tigers, leopards, and jaguars are the big cats living in the wild. There are also chimpanzees who love to climb trees and swing from vines and the mighty gorillas who mostly spend their days on land. Let’s not forget about the gentlest creature in the jungle either – the elephants! Don’t let their size scare you because they are really friendly! 

Other land animals in the jungle are zebras, with their black and white stripes. They may all look alike, but the pattern of their stripes are unique to each zebra. Long-necked giraffes also live in the jungle. They are the tallest animal in the entire jungle. That’s why it’s easy for them to eat the leaves and fruits of high trees. Last but certainly not the least (nor the smallest), are big bears who just looooove to eat honey! They don’t just go after the honey, they actually eat the whole beehive! Wow!

here are many different birds in the jungle, too! Like the long-billed toucan and the colourful macaws! But not all birds found in the wild are colourful, some have earth tones like brown and beige that make it easier for them to blend in their environment.

Slithery snakes, such as the python and anaconda are in the wild as well. They are the biggest species of snakes, with the longest python reaching up to 9.6 metres! Phew, that’s really long!
