Seeing this, a jealous hunter goaded the villagers into persecuting Mowgli and his adopted parents as witches. The tiger died and Mowgli sets to skin him.

While herding buffalo for the village Mowgli learns that the tiger was still planning to kill him, so with the aid of two wolves he trapped Shere Khan in a ravine, where the buffalo trampled him. while Meshua would like to believe that her son has returned, she herself realised that this was unlikely. It is uncertain if Mowgli was in reality the returned Nathoo or not. After driving off Shere Khan, Mowgli went to a human village where he was adopted by Meshua and her husband whose own son Nathoo was also taken by a tiger. Shere Khan continued to regard Mowgli as fair game, but eventually Mowgli found a weapon he could use against the tiger - fire. Baloo the bear, teacher of wolves, had the thankless task of educating Mowgli in The Law of the Jungle. Also, as Bagheera often mentioned, he was 'raised in the King's cages at Oodeypore from a cub, and thus knew the ways of man. Bagheera (the black panther) befriended Mowgli, partly because Mowgli, being a human, had the power of dominion over beasts: Bagheera could not withstand Mowgli's gaze.

Mowgli was lost by his parents in the Indian jungle as a baby. Depending on the adaptation, Mowgli is overly-curious and adventurous, and very brave in the face of danger. Mowgli often is depicted as a energetic child with high respect for the jungle law taught to him by Baloo and Bagheera. In both films he is half-naked, wearing only a red langot made of cotton.

Mowgli is a handsome preteen slender boy with dusky skin, brown eyes, thick black eyebrows and wild untidy black hair that covers his forehead, ears and reaches his neck.
