Tantor

Tantor is Tarzan and Terk's best friend who lives in Deep Jungle and is a member of The Jungle Crew. He is a rather all-fearing yet sometimes brave elephant who can always lend a helping trunk whenever his teammates need it.

Personality
Tantor usually appeared to be timid and even a downright coward who was easily spooked. However, he cared deeply for his friends and at times, he displayed considerable bravery despite normally appearing to be quite cowardly. For example, he boarded Clayton's ship to rescue Tarzan (complete with trumpet "Charge!" flair) and fought against a rogue elephant in the television series. He also seems to be somewhat of a germophobe and attempts to be an intillectual, though he tends to fail at the latter.

Physical Appearance
Tantor is an African forest elephant (Loxodonta cyclotis). He has red brownish skin. When he's young, his ears are shorter and his tusks don't grow yet, and speaks in a high voice. When he's an adult, his ears achieve their full size, his tusks are longer and sharper and his voice is noticeably deeper.

Role in the series
Tantor reprises his role in the series, and is a member of the Jungle Crew lead by Timon and Pumbaa.
