The tiger dies and Mowgli sets to skin him.

While herding buffalo for the village, Mowgli learns that the tiger is still planning to kill him, so with the aid of two wolves, he traps Shere Khan in a ravine where the buffalo trample him. Messua would like to believe that her son has returned, however, she herself realises that this is unlikely. It is uncertain if Mowgli is actually the returned Nathoo, although it is stated in " Tiger! Tiger!" that the tiger who carried off Messua's son was similar to the one that attacked Mowgli's parents. After driving off Shere Khan, Mowgli goes to a human village where he is adopted by Messua and her husband, whose own son Nathoo was also taken by a tiger. Shere Khan continues to regard Mowgli as fair game, but eventually Mowgli finds a weapon he can use against the tiger – fire. Baloo the bear, teacher of wolves, has the thankless task of educating Mowgli in " The Law of the Jungle". In the pack, Mowgli learns he is able to stare down any wolf, and his unique ability to remove the painful thorns from the paws of his brothers is deeply appreciated as well.īagheera, the black panther, befriends Mowgli because both he and Mowgli have parallel childhood experiences as Bagheera often mentions, he was "raised in the King's cages at Oodeypore" from a cub, and thus knows the ways of man. Mowgli grows up with the pack, hunting with his brother wolves. Shere Khan the tiger demands that they give him the baby but the wolves refuse. Lost by his parents as a baby in the Indian jungle during a tiger attack, he is adopted by the Wolf Mother, Raksha and Father Wolf, who call him Mowgli (frog) because of his lack of fur and his refusal to sit still. Kipling then proceeded to write the stories of Mowgli's childhood in detail in The Jungle Book. By the end of the story, Mowgli has a son and is back to living with his wolf brothers. Mowgli marries the daughter of Gisborne's butler, Abdul Gafur. Later, Gisborne learns the reason for Mowgli's almost superhuman talents he was raised by a pack of wolves in the jungle (explaining the scars on his elbows and knees from going on all fours). Muller also invites Mowgli to join the service, to which Mowgli agrees. Muller, the head of the Department of Woods and Forests of India as well as Gisborne's boss, meets Mowgli, checks his elbows and knees, noting the callouses and scars, and figures Mowgli is not using magic or demons, having seen a similar case in 30 years of service. He asks him to join the forestry service.


"In the Rukh" describes how Gisborne, an English forest ranger in the Pench area in Seoni at the time of the British Raj, discovers a young man named Mowgli, who has extraordinary skills in hunting, tracking, and driving wild animals (with the help of his wolf brothers).

The Mowgli stories, including "In the Rukh", were first collected in chronological order in one volume as The Works of Rudyard Kipling Volume VII: The Jungle Book (1907) (Volume VIII of this series contained the non-Mowgli stories from the Jungle Books), and subsequently in All the Mowgli Stories (1933). Kipling stated that the first syllable of "Mowgli" should rhyme with "cow" (that is, / m aʊ/) rather than "mow" ( / m oʊ/). It does not mean 'frog' in any language that I know of." Kipling later said "Mowgli is a name I made up. In the stories, the name Mowgli is said to mean "frog", describing his lack of fur.
