Differences from the novels
This version of Kerchak is more of a father to Tarzan in this than any other forms of media.

Rather than being their own species as in the novels, the Mangani are a species of gorilla that is unknown to science.

Trivia
Gorilla troops often have more than one silverback in a group.

Like the many versions of the character including Disney, Tarzan wears the traditional loincloth.
