In Spanish the word "pantera" is grammatically feminine and thus Bagheera is refered to as a "she". This has always been a big plot point, since the law of the jungle outright forbids any animals to kill any humans for food. The reason for this is the fact that humans are the only animals who would seek revenge for this kind of thing, and thus causing the jungle far more problems than it can afford to deal with. The Lair of the Wolf is his refuge, and where he has made him his home, Not even the Head Wolf may enter, not even the Council may come. Kaa: There was no talk of killing. How can I go to the jungle and say that I have led him to his death?

Killer Rabbit: Rikki-Tikki-Tavi the mongoose; a cute fuzzy fellow who is a fearless defender of the innocent against deadly snakes. I Was Named "My Name": Averted. Mowgli is usually called "little brother" by the other animals, at least until he gets bigger. The humans who adopt him call him Nathoo, after their long-lost son. (His new mother believes that he really is Nathoo returned at first, but it is clear that Nathoo was lost at a later age than Mowgli was — she recalls giving Nathoo shoes, but Mowgli was lost before he could walk, and she sees from how his toes are splayed that he has never worn shoes.)Reading up on Kipling’s life and his works I realized that I have misjudged anything I knew before about the Jungle Book or its origins. Which was very little I have to say. I am sadly ashamed to have never actually read the original Jungle book but mostly the children’s illustrated versions when I was a kid or just browsing bookcases and glancing through. This needs to be mended on my part and I am intending to read some other works from this brilliant mind whose prose and voice are full of wisdom and simply brilliant.

First book: "Kaa's Hunting" is closer to a classic adventure story rather than the mixture of adventure and emotional drama that fill "Mowgli's Brothers" and "Tiger! Tiger!". Notably, the first one is the only one to have a Mowgli story end at a relatively happy ending: "Kaa's Hunting" has some dangerous spots, but all the main characters get out of the situation relatively okay, Mowgli has a new ally, and after some mild punishment for his actions all is forgiven and at peace. Every other story by itself has it's own Bittersweet Ending. Mowgli himself is able to stare down Bagheera, something Bagheera admits is unique among all animals. He also seems immune to some animal abilities like Kaa's hypnotism. Artifact of Attraction: The eponymous object in "The King's Ankus", a jewel-studded ivory artifact that Mowgli finds in a lost treasure chamber and then carelessly discards. He soon discovers that the Ankus causes men to kill each other for greed, and wonders why he alone is immune.The Second Jungle Book: Mowgli & Baloo, 1997 film starring Jamie Williams as Mowgli, but the film's story has little or no connection with the stories in Rudyard Kipling's The Second Jungle Book.
