Later when Tarzan invites Jane Porter, her father Archimedes, and Clayton to the gorilla site, Tantor and Terk provide a distraction to the gorillas's leader Kerchak so he won't find out about it, eventually he does find out about it and is enraged. Later in the film he, Terk and some of their gorilla friends sneak onto the human's campsite and trash the place. Tantor continues to be Tarzan and Terk's friend well into young adulthood. Tarzan first encounters Tantor as he was a kid during a dare by Terk to take an elephant hair, during the dare a very young Tantor thinks Tarzan is a piranha and informs his mother about it and she doesn't believe him until Tarzan grabs hold of one of the elephants tails, which causes a stampede, after the aftermath it appears that Tarzan has died but he turns out to be alright and reveals he has managed to retrieve an elephant hair when he tells Tantor about he tells him that if he told him he would've gladly gave him one of his hairs. He also seems to be somewhat of a germophobe and attempts to be an intillectual, though he tends to fail at the latter 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. However, he cared deeply for his friends and at times, he displayed considerable bravery despite normally appearing to be quite cowardly. Tantor usually appeared to be timid and even a downright coward who was easily spooked.
