8	''Jana of the Jungle'' was a 1978 Creator/HannaBarbera AnimatedSeries created by Doug Wildey, of ''WesternAnimation/JonnyQuest'' fame, as part of ''WesternAnimation/TheGodzillaPowerHour''.

10	Jana, voiced by Creator/BJWard, roams the rainforests of South America in search of her lost father. She is aided by Montaro (Creator/TedCassidy), a native who is [[LastOfHisKind a descendant of a lost warrior tribe]], and Dr. Ben Cooper (Creator/MichaelBell), a young wildlife biologist who maintains the preserve started by Jana's father. Jana also has two [[NonHumanSidekick Non-Human Sidekicks]]: Ghost, an albino jaguar, and Tiko the [[strike:coatimundi]] yapok. Jana's collar doubles as a sharp-edged throwable weapon which could—among other things—cut vines and [[AbsurdlySharpBlade bore holes through cave walls]]. Montaro wields the equally potent Staff of Power that can cause earthquake-like shockwaves when it strikes the ground.

12	Jana also made a cameo appearance on ''WesternAnimation/YogisSpaceRace''.
13	----
14	!!Tropes:
15	* ActionPet: Janna has several loyal pets with their own personalities that like to help her out.
16	* AdventureSeries: A show about adventures in the jungle.
17	* AnimatedSeries: It is a series that is animated.
18	* CraftedFromAnimals: Janna wears a [[FurBikini fur swimsuit-like dress]] made from the hide of an unknown animal.
19	* DeadlyDisc: Janna’s necklace doubles as a dangerous throwable weapon.
20	* DisappearedDad: Jana's father, although not much is made of it.
21	* EpisodeTitleCard: The series uses them, as do most Hanna-Barbera cartoons.
22	* FilmFelons: In "The Animal Snatchers", a gang of poachers try to cover up their operation by posing as a documentary film crew. They later catch Jana in a snare, causing her to drop her collar, and abduct Ghost.
23	* GreatWhiteFeline: Jana has a pet white jaguar named Ghost.
24	* HairOfGoldHeartOFGold: Janna has blonde hair, not uncommon for a JunglePrincess, and she is very kind and compassionate. She doesn’t back down from her values, makes friends with animals easily and she always goes out of her way to SaveTheVillain.
25	* JunglePrincess: Jana, of course. She fits many of the classic requirements: she's a young American woman who has been stranded in the jungle since childhood, has bonded with the local tribespeople and animals, and protects her home from a variety of threats.
26	* LadyLand: The Amazons' kingdom in "Race for Life". Despite not liking men trespassing on their territory, they're also wary of Jana.
27	* MagicalNativeAmerican: Montaro has shades of this, but is (obviously) a rarer South American version.
28	* MisplacedWildlife: Subverted in an episode where a captive elephant breaks loose and is rampaging through the South American rain forest. Here, the elephant is explicitly shown not to be native to the region, forcing Jana to explain to the frightened natives that it is a simply a large animal before she sets out to find it and prevent it from causing irreparable damage or being killed by the natives.
29	%%* NatureHero: Jana.
30	%%* NitroExpress: The series had an oil well fire episode. The bits that weren't out of ''Film/TheWagesOfFear'' were out of ''Film/RoosterCogburn'' (with modifications; this is a kids' show, so no one gets so much as a nasty boo-boo).
31	%%* {{Non Human Sidekick}}s.
32	* PrefersGoingBarefoot: Jana goes everywhere barefoot like most [[{{JunglePrincess}} Jungle Princesses]], but its contrasted with Mantaro, a native with BootsOfToughness.
33	* ProtagonistTitle: The series title is ''Jana of the Jungle.''
34	* ProudWarriorRaceGuy: Manyaro is a descendent of a lost warrior people.
35	* RingsOfDeath: PlayedWith. While Jana's collar is sharp enough to double as this type of weapon, she never throws it at people or animals.
36	* SaveTheVillain: In "The Golden Idol of the Gorgas", Jana saves the Gorga chief from crocodiles after he accidentally falls into the river.
37	* StatuesqueStunner: The Amazons in "Race for Life" are taller than the main characters.
38	* VineSwing: One of the ways Jana travels around the jungle.
39	* TheXOfY: The series title is ''Jana of the Jungle.''
