Fangtooth Jungle
The Fangtooth Jungle covers the entire Fructose Peninsula, making up the south end of the Arachno River Basin.
Geography
The Fangtooth Jungle is a vast and wild tropical rainforest that blankets the Fructose Peninsula.
Ecosystem
The Fangtooth Jungle possesses a diverse ecosystem of plants and animals, perhaps the most diverse on the continent. Tropical plants, birds, insects, and reptiles all thrive here.
Ecosystem Cycles
Being that the Fangtooth Jungle is in a tropical environment, it does not experience seasons like the more northern areas of Altairus do. Rather, it experiences a wet season and a dry season, much like the tropics on Earth.
Climate
The climate of this jungle is very hot and humid, as to be expected.
Fauna & Flora
What is most interesting about the Fangtooth Jungle is that it is teeming with an abundance of dinosaurs. Some of these dinosaurs are similar to those found in Earth fossils, while others, such as tree cockatrices, are quite different. This is due to the fact that the Chicxulub meteor did not affect Altairus when it hit Earth. Rather, climactic changes in the northern regions killed most of the dinosaurs off, leaving them to thrive in the tropical regions of the world.
Natural Resources
Perhaps the most abundant resource and the one for which the Fructose Peninsula is named is tropical fruit. Altairians regularly risk life and limb to snag the rare tropical fruits that grow all across the peninsula.
