What Is The Story?

Raised by a family of wolves since birth, Mowgli the man-cub meets his match in Shere Khan, a lame tiger that has hunted him ever since Mother and Father Wolf took him into their tribe. With the help of his guardians Baloo the bear and Bagheera the panther, Mowgli learns the lore of the jungle whilst coming of age in the shadow of his fearsome feline arch-nemesis.
