The jungle girl is generally depicted as wearing either a scantily clad animal print (usually leopard) bikini or some type of jungle dress made from either fur or leather. Most of them are barefoot while others are shown to be in some type of primitive shoes. They could possibly be feral children or come from a wealthy, educated family that grew up in the jungle. They are the female counterpart of Tarzanesque characters. They are usually depicted in either one of 2 ways, as a tough heroine or as a bound and gagged damsel in distress.
