Answer
Swampy and forested, the wilderness around Jamestown was challenging to traverse and was home to many dangerous animals, such as alligators, snakes, and bears. The swampy terrain made it difficult for the colonists to grow crops and build structures, and the animals posed a constant threat to their safety. The colonists eventually learned to live in harmony with the wilderness, but it was a difficult and dangerous process.
