Tantor in The Son of Tarzan[edit]

I have reverted the latest revisions having to do with this story, because they are either irrelevant or incorrect. The bit added about Korak's future wife, while correct, really added nothing to the article, while the speculation about Tantor having "wandered far" in the interval between Tarzan of the Apes and The Son of Tarzan is erroneous. While the action of The Son of Tarzan does indeed conclude in East Africa, a close reading of the early chapters make it plain that Korak's landfall on the continent was on the west coast, near the equator, and thus reasonably near the area in which Tarzan himself had been raised. He plainly encountered Tantor there, and the elephant's later migration to the east was thus in Korak's company during the course of the story, rather than an independent earlier journey.

Tantor in Poseidon's Children[edit]

It's not, obviously, elevated to the high literary heights of Son of Tarzan, but in Alastair Reynolds' Poseidon's Children series "tantor" is used as the preferred nomenclature for an elephant subspecies with human-comparable intellect, communication, and tool-using.
