Answer 7

I think you are referring to the legend of "Greystoke".  Supposedly this is a true story that the tale of Tarzan was loosely based on.

There is a movie.  Watch it, it's good.

Answer 8

Tarzan was a fictional creation of Edgar Rice Burroughs. He was probably partly based on Rudyard Kipling's Mowgli who was a fictional character adopted by wolves in India as a baby.

When the Tarzan series became popular, some other writers created similar characters who were brought up by animals.

Occasionally tabloid newspapers or investigators into strange phenomenon will relate a story of a child raised by animals. Most such tales, if investigated, turn out to be grossly exaggerated. Your mother may have a confused memory of some such story.

Look up “feral child” in Google to find many such supposedly real stories.

Answer 9

Tarzan is just a fictional character invented by Edgar Rice Burroughs. In the stories, his parents died in the African jungle, and he was raised by apes. I think Rudyard Kipling wrote "The Jungle Book" that had Mowgli raised by wolves. Both stories may have been inspired by Jean-Jaques Rousseau's "Noble Savage" ideas.
