The [[Distaff Counterpart]] of [[Tarzan of the Apes]], the '''Jungle Princess''' is a young woman of European extraction who has been raised in a [[Darkest Africa|jungle environment]], usually [[Raised by Wolves|by animals]]. Despite her upbringing, though, she has managed to grasp the basic rudiments of [[Hulk Speak|English]], tools and fashion—she is frequently seen wearing fetching leather or [[Fur Bikini|fur]] bikinis and wielding a spear. She is far more likely to have [[Rapunzel Hair]] than [[Wild Hair]], and her legs and armpits will be inexplicably hairless.
Line 23:
* Either subverted or deconstructed with San, the eponymous Mononoke-Hime of ''[[Princess Mononoke]]''. While she fits a lot of the traits of a Jungle Princess, her character like almost anything else in the movie, is not as two-dimensional and clear cut as it seems at first.
* ''[[Magical Princess Minky Momo]]'': Momo transforms into one in Episode 20.
** [[Cutey Honey]] does the same thing in ''her'' 20th episode.

Line 54:
* Tanya Roberts made a pretty good ''[[Sheena]]'' for the 1980's.
* You could make the argument that Claudia Jennings played one in the trash film ''[[Gator Bait]]'', just switch the jungle for the Louisiana bayou.

Line 78 ⟶ 77:
* Maya from ''[[Power Rangers Lost Galaxy]]'', complete with the [[Ms. Fanservice]] leather dress and... impressive physique.
** Just to give perspective, she was played by Cerina Vincent... who played the perpetually nude foreign exchange student from [[Not Another Teen Movie]]
* [[The Muppet Show]]: The blue-skinned nurse in the "Coconut" sequence transformed into one. (You can see her wearing leopard skin if you look close.)
