Sight:
- "The jungle was rampant, a teeming, boiling, crashing, heaving sea of life."
- "Overhead the trees met to form a green ceiling."
- "Everywhere about lay the bones of some creature who had not been fast enough, strong enough, or lucky enough."
Hearing:
- "From somewhere behind them came the sound of a bull elephant trumpeting its fury."
- "Insects buzzed and screamed and sang."
- "Somewhere near them a jaguar screamed."
Smell:
- "Through the trees, the heavy, musky smell of the jungle drifted."
- "The air was so thick with vegetation and odors, he could not tell where the forest ended and the swamp began."
- "The sweet, moist smell of new wood and leaves that have been broken and crushed underfoot."
Bradbury's skillful use of sensory details creates an immersive and multi-sensory experience, allowing the readers to almost feel as if they are transported into the heart of the swamp.
