Description[edit | edit source]
- Creeping through the rainforest in search of a rare new monkey species, you hear the menacing growl of a hungry jaguar. Luckily, your Volkswagen Type 181 with its compact design can reverse unnoticed and then hammer through the jungle terrain before mama jaguar pounces for dinner!
—From 2010 and 2011 Jungle Explorers cards
