Why doesn't Tarzan have a beard?

Answer 1

Good question.

Answer 2

Cos you've been watching the movie Tarzan and they're all played by actors who don't have a beard.

Answer 3

In the book he was in the jungle as a child ,therefor he never started shaving,until Jane introduced him to pictures of sociaty men,
he had seen pictures in Janes books of men with great masses of hair upon lip and cheek and chin, but, nevertheless, Tarzan was afraid. Almost daily he whetted his keen knife and scraped and whittled at his young beard to eradicate this degrading emblem of apehood.

And so he learned to shave--rudely and painfully, it is true--but, nevertheless, effectively.

Answer 4

Try this: he's young and fair haired. "The great WHITE ape". He doesn't have to shave when the book is written. In sequels, maybe. But, there were never suppose to be sequels. Watch "Greystoke." It makes more sense with a blonde Tarzan.

Answer 5

Cmon, come to think of it, If he did have a beard, would you have been able to differentiate him from his jungle 'friends'.....he already talked like them, walked like them, looked a bit like them and if he eventually got a beard, u can imagine the rest....

Answer 6

He was born and raised in the tropics. People in those areas rarely have much body hair or chin hair.

Or: He shaves like everyone else.
