DID YOU KNOW:
-- Jungles of the world are found only around the equator.
-- About half of all the kinds of plants and animals in the world live in jungles.
-- Jungles are called rainforests because they produce so much rain. The hot sun near the equator makes the air very hot. The air rises, then cools, and comes back to earth as rain.
-- Bamboo trees can grow a foot a day.
-- The three big jungles of the world are in Brazil, Indonesia, and Africa.
-- The Indonesian jungle is the most dangerous earthquake zone in the world.
-- Indonesian natives use birdlime, a sort of glue from a tree, to trap leopards. They spread the glue on the ground and cover it with leaves. The leopard instantly becomes angry and helpless when it steps in the glue. In trying to get away, it smears the glue all over its face and eyes.
