What Makes a Forest 'Dense'?

A dense forest is like a crowd of people, the closer they are, the more crowded it feels. Trees in a dense forest grow close to each other and block out most of the light. This means there's less space for animals or even people to move around. Imagine being inside a big hug from all sides, that’s what trees in a dense forest feel like.
