Its also implied that a part of Kerchak's refusal to accept Tarzan as a son comes from his trauma of losing his and Kala's biological child, with him possibly seeing Kala bringing in the infant Tarzan not long after the incident as her trying to replace their child with him.
He disdains Tarzan but gradually begins to accept him in adulthood after Tarzan proves himself by killing the leopard Sabor (responsible for killing Tarzan's parents, as well as Kerchak and Kala's son) and saving the group from the hunter Clayton (who leads a posse of poachers hoping to capture the apes and selling ...
What is the relationship between Tarzan and Kerchak?
Kerchak was Tarzan's adoptive father, but he never considered Tarzan his son as he was a human, viewed him as a threat to his family, and didn't want him to be a replacement for his deceased biological son.
Once Clayton is dealt with, Kerchak passes his leadership of the gorilla family to Tarzan; before succumbing to his injuries; signifying his ultimate acceptance of him as both adopted son and a worthy successor.
Kala is a fictional ape character in Edgar Rice Burroughs's original Tarzan novel, Tarzan of the Apes, and in movies and other media based on it. She is the ape mother of Tarzan who raises him.
Kala often disagrees with her mate Kerchak (though both want is best for the tribe), but despite this, they love each other, and Kala is sad when Kerchak dies.
Fortunately, the toddler is picked up by one of the killer apes, Kala, who immediately starts breast feeding him, since her own little baby ape was tragically and somewhat conveniently killed, making her long for a replacement baby. This allows Tarzan to grow up with apes, and develop super strength.
The Snake (Passe-Partout): The traitor who accidentally leads the authorities to the abandoned warehouse where their stash of cigarettes is hidden, and who betrays Tarzan by telling the police that Tarzan crossed the US-Canada border the day a border-control officer was killed.
Terk, referring to herself Terk is a major character in Disney's 1999 animated feature film, Tarzan. She is a rowdy, tomboyish, and fun-loving gorilla and the best friend of Tarzan. She is also Kerchak and Kala's niece, making Tarzan her human adoptive cousin.
According to a Cast Member who played the iconic Jack Sparrow in Disneyland Park, one character was cut from the lineup of walk-around characters due to multiple accounts of sexual harassment. The male character they had pulled was Tarzan. He moved around the tree house dressed in just a butt flap.
When Jane returns to the United States, Tarzan leaves the jungle in search of her, his one true love. In The Return of Tarzan, Tarzan and Jane marry. In later books, he lives with her for a time in England. They have one son, Jack, who takes the ape name Korak (the Killer).
There really was a man, an English nobleman, who, shipwrecked on the jungle coast of Africa, was cared for by the apes, grew up with them and eventually survived a thousand adventures before returning to London to assume his rightful title and position. The man was William Charles Mildin, 14th Earl of Streatham.
She takes him in ("Two Worlds"), and, when Kerchak finds Kala with the human baby, he is not pleased; this human baby cannot replace their son. Kala knows this but she also knows that the baby needs a family. She names the baby Tarzan.
Clayton is the main antagonist of Disney's 1999 animated feature film, Tarzan. He initially serves as a protector for Jane and her father Archimedes Q. Porter on an expedition to Africa in search for gorillas, but his secret agenda is to use the trip as a way to hunt gorillas in order to sell them on the black market.
Is Terk a boy or a girl? Terk (voiced by Rosie O. Donnell) is basically a very masculine female, an arquetype rarely seen in film in general. Another example of this trend is Private Vasquez in James Cameron's "Aliens".
Probably the biggest misconception of them all: the “great apes” who raised Tarzan, although almost always depicted as plain old gorillas, were in fact a distinct fictional species that referred to themselves as the Mangani and to their larger enemies/cousins, the gorillas, as the Bolgani.
Plot. In the late 1880s, a British couple and their infant son are shipwrecked in Equatorial Africa. The adults build a treehouse but are killed by Sabor, a villainous leopard. Kala and Kerchak, the leaders of a troop of gorillas, lose their infant son to Sabor as well.
Thanks to Tarzan's cheerfulness and helpfulness, Zugor begins to warm to him as the boy continues to try to figure out what he is. Tarzan's best friends Terk (voiced by Brenda Grate) and Tantor (voiced by Harrison Fahn) come looking for him, but Tarzan does not want to return home with them.
Jad-bal-ja, the Golden Lion is a fictional character in Edgar Rice Burroughs's Tarzan novels, and in adaptations of the saga to other media, particularly comics.
Sabor is finally killed as she is impaled on the head of Tarzan's spear tip when the ape man raises it against the ferocious leopard, thus killing the animal.

Roman Charity (Latin: Caritas Romana; Italian: Carità Romana) or Cimon and Pero is an ancient Greek and Roman exemplary story (exemplum) of filial piety (pietas) in which a woman secretly breastfeeds her father or mother, incarcerated and supposedly sentenced to death by starvation.
5. Tarzan eats raw meat. I can't really remember depictions of meals in the Weissmuller movies, but I assume Tarzan and Jane cooked their food over a campfire. The original Tarzan likes his meat freshly hacked and dripping with blood or, even better, tenderized by having been buried for a few days.
