Why does Sabor wait until Tarzan is grown up?


I thought for sure the leopard Sabor would try to kill Tarzan when he was little, Kala must have really protected him from the leopard for all of those years!

Well, yeah, of course she did.

Can't stop the signal.

Why does Tarzan find it so hard to speak English when he meets the girl? Mother ape and baby ape spoke English to him for all those years prior to meeting the attractive lady.... Confused?

First of all, Sabor was never targeting Tarzan. His parents were just unfortunate prey. They just happened to run into each other again years later.

And Tarzan never knew English before meeting Jane. We were hearing "ape-talk". Would you have preferred a punch of animal noises with subtitles the whole time instead? When he met Jane, eh was simply mimicking what she was saying until he learned what the words meant. When he introduced himself to her, I'm guessing that Tarzan sounded the same in ape-language as it did in human language.

Yeah you're right!:) would of been terrible reading subtitles for first part of film lol. Tarzan makes her froth at the nickers..... Dirty talk!

I highly doubt that Sabor deliberately waited to attack Tarzan until he was an adult. Sabor just happened to attack Tarzan and his family randomly.
