Vines Roaring Like Dragons

Vines Roaring Like Dragons

Although vines can be found in all kinds of forests, tropical rainforests have the greatest variety and largest individual sizes. Botanists consider them the most resilient life forms in the rainforest. They occupy every level of space and take advantage of any opportunity to climb and grow, creating spectacular rainforest scenes where “ancient vines entwine ancient trees.” In the Yannada Rainforest Valley, massive vines crisscross, intertwine, and form dense networks as intricate as spiderwebs, resembling dragons roaring through the sea. Among them stand several giant banyan trees, like divine pillars stabilizing the ocean. In the American movie "Tarzan," the protagonist swings between trees and through canyons using thick vines that resemble ropes. Visitors walking through this “Vines Roaring Like Dragons” area can feel as if they’ve stepped into the movie.
