According to Hugh Hudson, the apes are a fictional species like the ones in the books of Edgar Rice Burroughs, but are heavily based on chimpanzees. Rick Baker was eager to come up with unique looks for individual characters. Tarzan's adoptive ape parents, Silverbeard and Kala, were made to look more like chimps but with smaller ears, the aggressive White Eyes was given a much more brutish gorilla look, and the overweightted Figs was designed to have a more orangutan like appearance.
