However, it does seem that there was, once, a jungle man whom Burroughs may have drawn inspiration from and used as fodder for the author's now-famous Tarzan stories. There doesn't seem to be any indication that a professor and his daughter found a jungle man and the daughter and he fell in love during African colonialism, and the character of Jane and those story elements seem to be nothing more than writer Edgar Rice Burroughs' imagination.

That's not to say the new movie is entirely realistic, but it is a fact that Tarzan isn't a totally fictional character. Surprisingly, Tarzan is based on a true story, and the new movie, The Legend of Tarzan, has a larger basis in reality than you might initially think. We've all heard the expression "raised by wolves," but is it possible that someone could have been raised by apes? To think that a person could actually have grown up in the jungle and thus, become almost super-human with skill and ability might sound crazy, but it turns out that the idea of someone able to swing from vine to vine in the jungle with the grace of a prima ballerina isn't an entire fantasy.
