Having hypnotized him, Kaa attempts to devour Mowgli, but he is rescued by a Himalayan brown bear-resembling sloth bear named Baloo. Kaa's hypnosis shows Mowgli a vision of his father being killed by Shere Khan and of himself as an abandoned infant being found by Bagheera and also warns of the destructive power of fire, as the animals call the "red flower". Mowgli, now alone, stumbles upon a thick canopy where he meets Kaa, an enormous Indian python who lures him in with promises of safety and an assurance that she knows who and what Mowgli truly is. However, before a consensus is reached, Mowgli voluntarily decides to leave the jungle for the sake and safety of his pack, with the agreement of Bagheera, who volunteers to guide the man-cub to the human village nearby.Įnroute, Shere Khan ambushes them, injuring Bagheera while Mowgli manages to escape with the help of a herd of water buffaloes.
Soon after, a debate and argument arises amongst the wolf pack as to decide whether they should keep Mowgli.
He issues a warning that when the Water Truce ends and the Peace Rock disappears, he will kill Mowgli, and leaves. He holds the scars on his face as evidence of man's cruel and destructive nature Mowgli's father burned his face when he tried to attack him and Mowgli. The truce is disrupted when the fearsome Bengal tiger Shere Khan detects Mowgli's scent amongst the crowd, and threatens his life since man is not welcome in the jungle.
One day, during the dry season, all the animals in the jungle gather at the Peace Rock to drink the water that remains as part of the Water Truce, a timeout called during a drought that enables all animals to gather at a water hole without fear of being eaten by larger, more predatory animals. Bagheera trains Mowgli to learn the ways of the wolves but Mowgli faces certain challenges and lags behind his wolf siblings, and Bagheera berates him for using human tricks like tool building, instead of learning the ways of the pack. Mowgli is a man-cub raised by the Indian wolf Raksha and her pack led by Akela ever since he was brought to them as a baby by the black panther Bagheera.
