A forest is generally considered as consisting of evergreen trees, redwoods, pine trees and the like, and inhabited by owls, small birds, cougars, bears and the like. A Jungle is more tropical, existing closer to the equator and inhabited by different kinds of foliage such as vines and more tropical marshy kinds of things and has creatures such as snakes, big colorful birds, lions, tigers, and such.
A rain forest is a forest with high humidity which is caused by a lot of rainfall but higher temperatures. Often a mist is hanging in the air between the trees. Usually medicinal plants and new species are found in rain forests because they are for the most part the most undiscovered areas in the world today.
PS. Stephanie (the first to answer this question) That is the silliest thing I've ever heard. Of course forests have wild animals! And Jungles DO have tropical animals... goodness, where did you go to school anyway? Antarctica?

A forest is a dryer, temperate zone woodlands. A jungle and a rainforest are generally different terms for a wet, tropical zone woods. There are cool, mountainous area wet jungles and rainforests. However, "rainforest" is the politically correct term.

A forest is an area with trees, whether natural or grown by man.
A jungle is a natural forest, usually with overgrown trees and untouched by man (except for those who are causing the deforestation of our jungles!)
A rainforest is only found in the equatorial regions where rain is found and where the 4 seasons do not occur.

A forest is like woods and it can get cold or hot.
A jungle has trees that can only be in a hot climate so it stays hot.
A rainforest is like a mix between a jungle and a forest it stays hot humid and it rains every day and it has more animals that live there.

different plants, different climates, animals, locations. A forest consits of trees such as pine, evergreen and more. Usually forests are colder. A jungle is about the same thing as a rainforest.

A jungle is a tropical forest. It may or may not have sufficent rain to be called a rainforest. But a rainforest does not have to be tropical.
