Mowgli is a young boy who is orphaned after his parents are killed by the tiger Shere Khan. He is adopted and raised by Mother and Father Wolf. At the wolf pack council, Baloo the bear and Bagheera the panther argue that Mowgli should stay with the pack for his protection. Mowgli learns the ways of the jungle from his teachers Baloo and Bagheera. As he grows older, Mowgli is kidnapped by monkeys but is rescued by Baloo, Bagheera, and Kaa the snake.
