Note
The plural counts places, and what counts as a jungle depends on the speaker. In South Asian English the word covers any uncultivated forest or scrub, so jungles there need not be rainforest. In hobo slang, jungles are the camps where drifters gather. The figurative, lawless jungle takes the plural too, but the dance-music style is uncountable and never adds the -s.
