Tarzan was born in October of 1999 to Gombe's largest and most aggressive female, Patti. While she is much better now, Patti used to be a very indifferent, somewhat neglectful mother. However, Tarzan is her fourth surviving child and she has now perfected her mothering technique. Tarzan is a playful, rough and tumble baby. He loves swinging upside down from tree branches and doesn't seem to care if he falls!! He especially likes to wrestle and romp around with his older brother, Titan.
