Characters
“ Mowgli became the leader of bandar logs ” ( John Dollman , 1903)
- Mowgli is a human child raised by wolves .
- Bagheera is a black panther , a friend of Mowgli.
- Balu is a bear, the teacher is wolf cub, a friend of Mowgli. Kipling called "the sleepy brown bear" - "sleepy brown bear." Brown bear is the English name for the brown bear , which, however, does not occur in India. According to Balu's diet (nuts, roots and honey), we can assume that we are talking about the Himalayan bear , but this species does not live in Central India (the scene of the stories about Mowgli). So the only other contender for the role of Balu is another big lover of honey - gubach . The English name for gubach - sloth bear (sloth bear) is consistent with the Kipling epithet of Bal, and although gubachs are mostly black in color, individuals of brown color are sometimes found among them.
