The living Kings and Queens of The Mysterious Habitat Story Meta Genre

Forget the late Elmo Lincoln and Johnny Weissmuller, here come the Kings and Queens of the Mysterious Habitat Story meta genre. 

Even though Swiss Brazilian heartthrob Claudio Henrich Meier wasn't and still isn't a regular for the Mysterious Habitat Story meta genre to begin with, he made a big break when he was in Uga Uga, a turn of the millennium Brazilian telenovela show, playing the Amazon Jungle raised Greco Brazilian company heir Adriano Karabastos, aka Tatuapu. Thus, the tv show in turn was a loose spiritual adaptation to the first few Tarzan books, or even more accurately, much of the whole Jukan series, a literary competitor that hasn't gone anywhere outside of its native Scandinavia, for reasons related to its author's political stance. 

For parts of her rather brief and at times controversial entertainment career, in The Ape Princess, half-Dutch/half-Thai Mon actress, model and currently nun Amelia Jacobs played Iyawadee, an abandoned chief's daughter who was subsequently adopted and then raised by Orangutans in a generic Southeast Asian jungle.
