The "Gryf" is found Pal-ul-don somewhere in  Burrough's Africa:

Good old Tarzan  had not one, but TWO places where he romped with dinosaurs, 
Pal-ul-don and  Pellucidar, a world at the earth's core. This is in line with 
Burrough's  penchant for making things scarier by adding extra pairs of legs 
and arms, as  Dave Krentz is dealing with now.
If I remember correctly  from the comics, Tarz would hitch a ride behind the 
frill of a gryf by wacking  it's rostrum with a stick and calling out, 
"Hoo-EEE!" Hey, I bought it when I  was 10.
