Mowgli is a man-cub raised by wolves in the Indian jungle. Alongside him are Baloo, the bear who teaches him the Law of the Jungle, and Bagheera, the panther who watches over him with fierce love. But not every creature welcomes a human among them—Shere Khan, the tiger, sees Mowgli as a threat and vows to destroy him. To survive, Mowgli must face great challenges and discover where he truly belongs. A timeless story of adventure and coming of age.
