by Jim Cummings) is cowardly – he is afraid of bacteria, pond scum, piranhas (which aren't even in Africa), and randomly anything else. But when it comes to helping Tarzan when he's in trouble, Tantor shows know-it-all Terk a thing or two in the bravery department and leads the way. Kala (voiced by Susanne Blakeslee) acts as the voice of the apes, reminding Tarzan of his particular obligations to the family. She is also Jane's closest confidant. The two share a warm, strong bond, and Jane regards her mother-in-law as her only kindred spirit in the jungle. From Kala's point of view, Jane is the human daughter she never had. Her open mind is a well of great wisdom, and she is almost always right. Even though Kerchak is gone, she is still highly respected. Although kind and motherly to Tarzan, Jane, and all the gorillas, Kala is almost undoubtedly the bravest gorilla in the family. Professor Porter (voiced by Jeff Bennett) is a noted scientist with years of expertise studying gorillas, though before arriving in Africa in the first film, he had never seen one in the wild. Sometimes the kindhearted professor gets absorbed in his thinking but often forgets what he's doing. When they finally meet the gorillas, it's the fulfillment of a lifelong dream, even if the professor does faint. Jeff Bennett replaces the late Nigel Hawthorne (who died just months after the show's premiere). Kerchak (voiced by Lance Henriksen) was the mate of Kala and the adoptive father of Tarzan. Kerchak is mentioned posthumously and appears in several flashbacks in the series. Tarzan made a statue of him to commemorate his adoptive father and predecessor as leader of the gorilla troop. Henriksen is one of only three actors to reprise their roles from the film. Allies Flynt (voiced by Erik von Detten) and Mungo (voiced by Jason Marsden) are clueless ape brothers. Flynt and Mungo have grown up along Tarzan, but they're still as dopey as ever. Most likely due to results of self-inflicted head trauma from playing their childhood game "stop hitting yourself." While the brothers mean no harm, their dumb behavior may cause conflict for Tarzan. Since they spend all their time together, being separated will cause them to freak out. They are two of only three characters to retain their voice actors from the film (the third being Lance Henriksen as Kerchak). Booto
