Feeling pity on the child, Bagheera takes him to be raised with the wolves. Ten years later, the child has grown into Mowgli. Mowgli discovers that his life is in danger because of the return to the area of Shere Khan the Tiger, whose hatred of humans is such that Mowgli faces certain death if discovered. Bagheera agrees to transport Mowgli to the human village, where he will be safe from Shere Khan. Along the way to the village, night falls and Mowgli and Bagheera almost succumb to the man-eating snake Kaa.  Escaping Kaa’s coils, they run into the lock-step military elephant band of Colonel Hathi. Afterward, Mowgli, who doesn’t want to be sent to the human village, runs away from Bagheera and meets up with the fun-loving Baloo the Bear. With both Bagheera and Baloo to protect him, Mowgli is saved from several more life-threatening situations — including a barber-shop quartet of vultures, the crazed King Louie of the Apes, and Shere Khan himself — before making it to the village of humans.
