Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The usual way of transportation of a Nature Hero: grab a conveniently placed, always available vine on a tree, and swing on it to the next one. Very common in Jungle Opera settings or in Jungle Japes levels of video games. In fiction, these vines will usually be portrayed as flexible as ropes. In Real Life, those that are strong enough to carry the weight of a human are much more stiff. Often used as a Stock Shout-Out to the Trope Codifier, Tarzan; the character swinging on the vine often makes the ape-man's unique yell. Compare Building Swing, which is this done in a more man-made environment, usually with ropes, and Chandelier Swing, the indoors, swashbuckling counterpart. Contrast Vine Tentacles, where the vines are controlled or operate autonomously for other applications When you do it, you need to Watch Out for That Tree!.

Parodied in several The Far Side comics, often with Tarzan being the swinger: losing his keys and wallet, missing his morning "commuter vine" as it swings by his treehouse, mistaking a snake for a vine, and so forth. Another features an ape swinging clear across Africa, having caught the ultimate vine. | |

Mr. Bogus: In the first act of the episode "Hipster Tripster", Bogus does this in the monkeys' habitat at the zoo when envisioning himself as a Tarzan-esque wildman. Unfortunately, he winds up accidentally swinging into the habitat of a gorilla who grabs him up and starts tickling him. Bogus does this again in the third act of the episode "Bogunda, Bogetta, & Bogus", after his little time-traveling adventure takes him to prehistoric times. At the end of the episode "Bookstore Bogus", after Bogus and Brattus are successful in making quick work of a rock dinosaur that was chasing after Bogus, Brattus conjures up a vine before he swings off. |
