Here is the Journal quote from Kingdom hearts' Sabor's journal entry :

"A leopard feared by all who live in the jungle, and an ennemy of Tarzan and the gorillas.

Sabor is a cunning hunter who target the weak and helpless.

He stalked onto the scene in "Tarzan" (1999)"

...

And here is a quote from the original Book "Tarzan of the apes" from Edgar Rice Burroughs :

"So the scream of Sabor, the lioness, galvanized the brain and muscles of little Tarzan into instant action."

...

One source is from Disney but of a spin-off game and the other is the original source material that wasn't respected by Disney in their adaptation.

As far as the original books are concerned, Sabor isn't a character but the very idea of Lioness.. not individual lionesses but all lionesses that are called this way..

In the original books, Tarzan killed one Sabor and other Sabors were featured later in the story..

As far as Disney's Kingdom hearts is concerned, Sabor is an individual, a character that is a leopard whose appearcance is heavily based on Movie Sabor and is not a lion or lioness for that matter..

For the movie, alledgedly, the team working on it decided to take Sabor as the name of their villain rather than Sheeta, the original name for leopards (all of them) in the original books.. because they thought Sabor was a better name for a villain but didn't make Sabor a lioness and kept the design as one of a leopard..

Though I haven't found any evidence of an interview that show them claim such thing.

...

So now, the real question is :

Is Movie Sabor (cannon Sabor) the male character that appeared in Kingdom hearts, all lionesses (in which case the characters simply do not know that she isn't a lioness but a leopard) all leopards, all female leopards or one leopard whose sex isn't specified?

I am open to your opinions and very open to all quotes and sources to any relevant information on this subject..
