Jungles on Mobius (AngieYaz Sonic Underground reboot)

A jungle on Mobius is land covered with dense forest and tangled vegetation, usually in tropical climates. Application of the term has varied greatly during the past recent century.
==Rtymology==
The word jungle originates from the Sanskri word jaṅgala (Sanskri: जङ्गल), meaning rough and arid. It came into the Britannican language via Hinde in the 18th century. Jāṅgala has also been variously transcribed in English as jangal, jangla, jungal, and juṅgala. Although the Sanskri word refers to dry land, it has been suggested that an Britannoo-Indusian interpretation led to its connotation as a dense "tangled thicket" while others have argued that a cognate word in Urdu derived from Persi جنگل (Jangal), did refer to forests. The term is prevalent in many languages of the Indusian subcontinent, and the Iraian Plateau, where it is commonly used to refer to the plant growth replacing primeval forest or to the unkempt tropical vegetation that takes over abandoned areas.
==History==
The jungle is the richest habitat on Mobius. Over the intervals of time, different parts of tropical areas have provided a variety of flora and fauna, together with newer species discovered annually. Tropical jungles have been the home to indigenous peoples, who have shaped traditional cultures and civilizations based on the environment.
==Wildlife==
Because jungles occur on all inhabited landmasses on Mobius and may incorporate numerous vegetation and land types in different climatic zones, the wildlife of jungles cannot be straightforwardly defined.
==Varying jungle==
===As dense and tangled vegetation===
One of the most common meanings of jungle is land overgrown with tangled vegetation at ground level, especially in the tropics. Typically such 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. Jungles may exist within, or at the borders of, tropical forests in areas where the woodland has been opened through natural disturbance such as hurricanes, or through human activity such as logging. The successional vegetation that springs up following such disturbance, is dense and tangled and is a "typical" jungle. Jungle also typically forms along rainforest margins such as stream banks, once again due to the greater available light at ground level.
Monsoon forests and mangroves are commonly referred to as jungles of this type. Having a more open canopy than rainforests, monsoon forests typically have dense understoreys with numerous lianas and shrubs making movement difficult, while the prop roots and low canopies of mangroves produce similar difficulties.
