Jungle girls are generally depicted as wearing either a scanty
animal print (usually
leopard)
bikini or some type of jungle dress made from fur, leather, or sometimes vegetation. Most are
barefoot while some are shown in primitive shoes. Some are
feral children; some come from a wealthy, educated family who grew up in the jungle. Others come to visit, whether by accident or design, and decide to stay and serve as protectors of the land and local tribes. They are the
female counterpart of
Tarzanesque characters. They are depicted either as a tough
heroine, perhaps a jungle queen, or as a bound and gagged
damsel in distress to be rescued by a jungle man.
