A little Indian boy was separated from his parents during an attack on their small village. A lonely, lost baby is sheltered by a wolf family. The human cub, named Mowgli, will go a long way from a clumsy “frog” to the leader of a wolf pack. It is not easy for a person to survive in the impenetrable jungle, even with such teachers as an elegant panther, a wise python and a huge bear. The kid will have to face wild dogs and agile monkeys, escape from a huge white cobra, survive an unprecedented drought, and also fight in mortal combat with his worst enemy - the mighty tiger Shere Khan.
