Although the program is set in Africa, the elephant portraying Tantor is clearly an Asian elephant, having considerably smaller ears than her African counterparts.
One of the species that Jane is attempting to protect is the Green Iguana. However, Green Iguanas can only be found in Central and South America, not in Africa.
In many scenes, Tarzan appears to have a wristwatch tan line.
Many of the animals species featured on the show are either not native to Africa (pumas, iguanas) or do not live in the jungle (lions, ostriches).
