an aspect of forests that make them so mysterious is perhaps the vast diversity of wildlife.

It is so big and vast and there seems to be a new discovery all the time. There is also a lot of coverage and greenery that makes it difficult to see very far. I think the heat also plays into it a little bit as well. Also waterfalls.

For a long time people did not know a lot about the forests and we still don’t know everything. It almost seems like anything can be in the forests and that makes the mystery and opportunity for story telling greater.

Jungles are filled with many different plants and animals so its easier to make and tell stories about them, like the jungle book.

They are hard to explore so there is a lot of mystery around them, there is also a lot of animals to tell stories about.

Forests are full of trees so you cant see super far through it. You can never know what's truly in them.

For a long time people didn't know what was in the jungle. There are so many different animals and plants that even when we knew what was in the jungle it still held this really fascinating environment

Every forest will be different, have different species of animals and plants, giving it a mysterious vibe that is perfect for stories!

Forests are usually dense and create lots of shade from the sun which makes it dark. There is also lots of diversity.

Because all the trees make shadows so they can play tricks on the eye and tree branches can look like scary things. And the creatures that walk around in the forest can step on branches and make snaps to scare people into thinking someone is out there

The bio diversity and the unknown in the forest. Also they like to use animals as symbols such as snakes as bad characters like kaa in jungle book.
