Forest and Jungle


A Forest is a large area which covering by trees. And Jungle is a land with dense vegetation dominated by trees. Both of these definitions are similar to each other. But generally, forest and jungle aren't the same.


  • Forest


Forest is an area with high density of tree, it eventually came to mean wooded land more generally. Forest is bigger than Jungle and penetrable. We can be able to walk through it easily. Forest contain many tree species of all varieties. However, not many different species may be found in the regions capable of sustaining tree growth.

  • Jungle

Jungle is a dense forest in a hot climate. This word originally came from a sanskrit word jangala meaning "Forest". Jungle is smaller and just about 20% of Forest. Jungle is impenetrable. It can be hard to walk through the jungle without the tool. Jungle includes young trees, vines, lianas and herbaceous plants. Jungle may be found at the edges of Forests.

 Forest and Jungle are present in both equatorial and tropical climatic zones. Forest is a type of Boreal Forests, Rain Forests, Tropical Forest etc. But Jungle os only a type of Rain Forest. To sum up the definition, Forest is bigger than Jungle and even it definition. Perhaps The Amazon Rain Forest can be instead of The Amazon Jungle.
