Long before Disney's animated movie, author Rudyard Kipling wrote down the story of Mowgli, the boy abandoned deep in the jungle. The baby Mowgli was discovered by the panther Bagheera, who brought him to the wolves to be raised. Mowgli grew up happily, learning the way of the jungle from the wolves, Bagheera, and his friend Baloo, the bear.
