A chance meeting with a young Indian girl offers a stronger attraction, however, and Bagheera and Baloo depart knowing that Mowgli will be happier with his own kind. Now nothing stands in the way of Mowgli's remaining in the jungle. To his surprise, he is helped by his jungle friends, and, tying a burning branch to Shere Khan's tail, Mowgli frightens the tiger away. When Shere Khan appears, the vultures take to the trees and Mowgli must face the tiger alone. The birds at first tease him but later befriend the lonely boy. Determined to remain in the jungle, Mowgli runs away and wanders into a vultures' hangout. When Mowgli is kidnaped by monkeys, Baloo persuades Bagheera to help, and the three escape just as the ape King Louie's temple crumbles. Exasperated by Mowgli's continual disobedience, Bagheera deserts the boy, who is then befriended by the bear Baloo, a singing, dancing jungle bum. After successfully avoiding the hypnotic designs of the snake Kaa, the travelers meet Colonel Hathi's elephant herd. Bagheera agrees to escort the protesting boy through the jungle, where the two encounter many dangers. Ten years later, when it is learned that the ferocious tiger Shere Khan is returning to his hunting ground, the wolves fear for Mowgli's life and decide that for safety's sake he must return to the world of men. While roaming about the jungle, the panther Bagheera finds Mowgli, an abandoned Indian boy baby, in a wrecked canoe and takes him to a wolf family to be reared as a cub.
