Tarzan and the Lion Girl is the eighth episode of the second season of the adventure series, Tarzan. The episode follows Tarzan and his companions, Boy and Doreen, as they encounter a young woman named Shari, who was raised by lions.
As the episode opens, Tarzan and his friends come across a group of lions who appear to be carrying a human baby. Upon closer inspection, they discover that the baby is actually a young woman named Shari, who has been living with the lions since she was a child. Despite the initial shock of meeting someone raised by wild animals, Tarzan and his companions quickly realize that Shari is in danger from local hunters who are after her for their own gain.
As they travel through the jungle with Shari, Tarzan learns more about her past and how she came to live with the lions. Through flashbacks, we see that Shari's parents were explorers who were killed by a tribe of native people. Left alone in the jungle as an infant, Shari was taken in and raised by the lions, who taught her how to survive in the wild.
Despite her upbringing, Shari is still human and has a basic understanding of language and culture. As they journey through the jungle, Tarzan and his companions begin to teach her about the world she has been missing, including basic human customs and language. Along the way, they must fend off attacks from the hunters who are chasing them.
As the group continues their journey, they come across a young woman named Tuni, who is part of the same tribe that killed Shari's parents. Tuni reveals that the tribe is angry with Shari for leaving and believes that she has brought bad luck upon them. Realizing that they are in danger, Tarzan and his friends must work together to protect Shari and defeat the hunters who are after her.
The episode is a thrilling adventure that showcases the beauty of the African jungle and the incredible abilities of Tarzan and his companions. With its focus on the relationship between humans and animals, Tarzan and the Lion Girl is a poignant reminder of the importance of respecting and preserving the natural world.
