In Reality Z-25 31-H, “the Naked Jungle” was located in the African country of Buranda. It was home to the adventuring couple Kaza and Gwenna, deriving its nickname from the pair's infectious nudist lifestyle. Other denizens of the Jungle or its surroundings included helpful bureaucrat Commissioner Smedley and his wife Catherine Smedley, who was once the jungle girl Nula.
The Natari tribe is used to exotic foreigners passing through their jungle.

History
Jenny Everywhere and Herbie Popnecker once passed through the Naked Jungle aboard a time machine. (COMIC: Meanwhile…)
Wonderella, a superheroine from another universe, once visited the Naked Jungle. She borrowed two hundred dollars from Kaza and returned home thanks to the power of the Obelisk of Rangora. Later, she was sent back to the Jungle on Saint Patrick’s Day by a Leprechaun alongside her sidekick Wonderita. She seemed to have retained an unpleasant memory of her first visit, describing the place as “like a porno movie edited by Mormons”. The two soon found Kaza and Gwenna again, and were directed back to the Obelisk, where they fought a giant badger before successfully getting home. (COMIC: Wonderella Drops by the Jungle)
Jenny Everywhere and Jenny Nowhere once passed through the Naked Jungle while chasing each other across universes. As they materialised, their shifting powers adapted their outfits to their new surroundings, making all their clothes vanish except for their underwear. Fairly quickly, Everywhere tripped on a vine and Nowhere took the opportunity to grab onto her and shift the both of them out of this universe and off to Nowhere's own house. (PROSE: Jenny Everywhere and the Nowhere Spiral)
