I was expecting a bunch of wild, ferocious tigers, leopards, panthers, lions, etc., but this episode is more about The Rain Forest than the jungles we think about from Tarzan films or "nature" films we see on television. I guess those animals are part of a different area, such as the plains.
Anyway, I'm not complaining: observing the fantastic greenery and wild assortment of life in the Rain Forest is very, very entertaining. It may be only 3 percent of the Earth's land but it contains, according to narrator David Attenborough, half of the world's species.
There are insects, fungi, animals and birds like you have never seen! The best example of this might be the different Birds Of Paradise and their mating habits. You have to see this, to believe it!
Over 80 percent of the entire word's insects live in the Rain Forest and we see some amazing ones, including "mentally disturbed" ants! The sounds that they - and animals like frogs - make at night are amazing, too.
Some of the best parts of this episode were the speed-up photography scenes showing the amazing development of plant life.
The last part of the show switches to the Congo in Africa where we see Forest Elephants, chimpanzees and more stunning sights. Obviously, this "jungle" episode is packed with a ton of info, sights and sounds.
