The term "LEGO Jungle" has been used for two different themes: a discontinued sub-theme of LEGO Adventurers in 1999 and an ongoing sub-theme of LEGO City that returned in 2024.
Current Theme: LEGO City Jungle (2024)
The current jungle-themed sets are part of the main LEGO City line and focus on modern exploration, discovery, and wildlife rescue. These sets are available now and feature new animal molds and diverse minifigures, sometimes including a homage to the classic Johnny Thunder character.
