Watch out for these head hunters as they're trying to get a little head in life.



Also on the Jungle Cruise here's a rare treat.  This is the legendary "back side of water" at Schweitzer Falls.



There are run-ins with butterflies that can "grow from 12 inches to a foot", hippos who are ready to attack (sadly in our PC world the Jungle Cruise Captains are no longer able to shoot their guns at them), crocodiles and a whole herd of elephants cooling off in a waterfall. 



At the end of your journey make sure to go and see Safari Sam as he is the head salesman in the area.



Yes the jokes by the Skipper's are cheesy and scripted.  Yes the ride really hasn't changed since it first opened.  But there is something about the Jungle Cruise that brings us all back again and again.  It's not just me because Bond fell in love with it too and made sure we took a second excursion on it.
