While his parents are busy, Mowgli, so young he can barely walk, wanders off into the jungle where he is stalked by a hungry tiger, Shere Khan. Fortunately, Baloo the bear, Bagheera the panther, and Kaa the python defend the infant boy. In the end, Mowgli is taken in by two wolves, Luri, and Alexander, who wish to adopt him. The rest of the pack opposes the idea, but Bagheera, who has witnessed the death of Mowgli's parents in the meantime, feels responsible, and so offers a freshly killed buffalo in exchange for Mowgli's life. Mowgli thus becomes one of the pack.
