Fortunately, Tarzan, now a fully grown man, engages in a fight against Sabor with his own agility and cleverness, which ends when Sabor leaps down on Tarzan, sending both of them plunging into a pit below. Kerchak battles with the leopard, but despite his huge size and strength, Sabor's deadly moves such as her claws, teeth, agility and reflexes prove to be too much for the silverback to handle. Kala then growls at Sabor before fleeing away with the baby, calling him Tarzan and raising him as her own adopted son.ฤก8 years later, Sabor ambushes the gorilla troop. By luck, Kala manages to escape Sabor by having one of her paws trapped with a rope and a pulley while escaping down on a boat used by Tarzan's parents as an elevator. Eventually, Sabor is about to eat their baby son, who is rescued by an investigating Kala. Sabor is later able to infiltrate the treehouse home of Tarzan's shipwrecked parents, where she manages to kill the couple offscreen. Snarling at the baby gorilla, Sabor manages to catch and maul him to death, much to both Kerchak and Kala's complete distraught upon hearing the sound and seemingly witnessing her eating him offscreen. Sabor first appears stalking through vines during the night, where she spots Kerchak and Kala's baby strolling while chasing a frog. This may suggest that she was sadistic or infanticidal, as babies of any species were an easy meal to a creature like Sabor. Additionally, she seems to kill for reasons beyond food, as she kills Tarzan's parents, but leaves the bodies with no intention of eating them, ignoring potential meals just so that she can target children.
However, Sabor seemed to focused more on Tarzan than Kala, which is seemingly obvious due to the fact that she was denied the opportunity to eat Tarzan at least twice (which the second time was due to Zugor's interference) and thus marked Tarzan as the main priority as her target. While the main reason of Sabor's villainy was due to living as a fierce, aggressive, and bloodthirsty predator who is trying to survive in a harsh jungle just like real-life predators, Sabor is also regarded as a villainous character due to the fact that her antagonism and villainy are motivated by her being at odds with the gorillas: Sabor viewed Kala as one of her archenemies since the female gorilla saved the baby Tarzan not long after Sabor killed his parents and the said gorilla's son. Sabor is above all else a formidable enemy being a wild beast, she is one of Disney's deadliest villains. She is a predator by nature, but kills for reasons beyond instinct on occasion.
Sabor is a silent and dangerous leopard who prowls the jungle in search of prey to kill and eat.
Her coloring is typical of a leopard, with black spots featuring a brown rosette in the middle, on top of yellow ochre fur, with a white tip of of the end of her tail. She has green eyes and sharp, long thin fangs more akin to a scimitar coat such as the extinct Homotherium than to a real leopard. She is more stocky than a typical leopard, and she has exaggerated proportions. Sabor is a leopard, but more greatly resembles a jaguar.
