** Kala tries to get him to do quieter animals, but he thinks that's no fun. He even does a leopard sound. It gets even funnier when the youngest gorillas start mimicking him, much to the displeasure of their mothers.
** Years later, when he's all grown up, it leads to this exchange:
--> '''Tarzan:''' [''trying to sneak up on Kala, winds up an elephant trumpet'']\\
'''Kala:''' [''without looking, completely deadpan''] Don't even think about it.\\
'''Tarzan:''' [''splutters out a deflated trumpet and swings around in front of her''] How'd you know it was me?\\
'''Kala:''' I'm your mother, I know everything. Now where have you been?\\
'''Tarzan:''' [''chuckling''] I thought you knew everything.

* Granted it's a [[NightmareFuel suspenseful]] [[AdultFear scene]], we have Kala, a sweet, wise gorilla wife and [[HappilyAdopted mother]], narrowly catch baby Tarzan by his diaper through an opening in the tree house's floorboards, yet the poor dear [[NotSoAboveItAll falls for the old conundrum of confusedly trying to get an object through a smaller opening]].

Kerchak just silently [[DeathGlare glares]] at Tarzan with a utterly exasperated expression as Tarzan sheepishly hides behind the tree.

* When they meet the Gorilla Herd and Clayton marks the spot on the map, it seems to be creepy and perhaps rather obvious ForeShadowing, but then there's a total MoodSwing when the Gorillas take an interest in him, snatching the map away briefly, and then taking his rifle away and examining and playing with it -- one of them is looking right down the barrel.
