[edit] There are no chimpanzees in the novel
This is a note for 217.129.67.28, who twice modified the article to indicate that the young Tarzan was attacked by a chimpanzee, citing his own memory of the novel. You are correct that Tarzan was attacked by a bolgani, but the word means gorilla in Mangani, not chimpanzee, as the actual text of the novel clearly indicates. You can confirm this in the Project Gutenberg etext linked to in the article. Not only was Tarzan never attacked by a chimp, but no chimpanzees are mentioned in the book. Thank you for your attention. BPK 06:10, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Wording
"So popular was the character..." doesnt that sound kinda weird? like it should be simply "the character was so popular." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.87.69.48 (talk) 19:50, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
