Names of Jungle book Characters
Willem Boersma
here in Holland. It contained a picture of Disney Characters, quite a
few of which were from Disney's Jungle Book. Of course, I tore up the
subscription form and hung the picture on the wall of my about-to-be
3yr-old son, just above his dresser.
Now, of course, he wants to know the names of these characters. I am not
going to fall in the trap again of making names up, forgetting them,
saying the wrong name the next time and being corrected by a toddler.
So help me out! The only one I am absolutely sure about is Mowgli.
I seem to remember Baba loo, but was it the bear? In the picture are:
Mowgli, a monkey, a bear, a snake, a tiger, a crocodile and maybe more.

No, they weren't. They were from Rudyard Kipling's "Jungle Book".
Once it was completely out of copyright, Disney moved in and made a
disgustingly bowdlerized movie.
Try the Real Thing. Kipling!
Don't miss the Just So Stories, also by Kipling. How the elephant got
its trunk, the cat that walks by itself, why rhinocerous's skins are so
wrinkly, where the alphabet came from,.... Kipling wrote them for his
daughter.

I was a Jungle Book fanatic when I was a kid, so permit me to nit-pick
on the spellings. These also from memory so I hope I don't embarrass
myself. It's probably been 20 years since I read it:
Baloo -- bear
Kaa -- snake (was there an apostrophe in there?)
Shere Khan -- tiger
Bagheera -- panther
I was so offended by Disney's coming out with a cartoon version that I
refused to ever see it -- still haven't, though my dudgeon has faded.
In the book I don't think the elephants, which were minor characters,
had names. The monkeys were collectively called the Bander-Log and
were objects of great scorn to the "decent" jungle folk. I don't
recall any alligators.
I recommend the original, whose official title is "Rudyard Kipling's
First Jungle Book", I believe, as a wonderful story. Of course it is
somewhat racist and sexist, so if that will offend you too much, watch
out.

There are also a herd of "military elephants", but I can't remember
their names.

I think the main elephant was Hathi and the mongoose was Rikki-Tikki-Tavi.
The wolves had names as well.

Bear is Baloo (Baba loo was Ricky Ricardo's theme song)
Snake is Kah
Tiger is Sheer Kan
and the Crocodile is from Peter Pan and doesn't have a name.

A nitpick on the elephant's name: in the movie it was Colonel Hathi.
As you say, the elephants don't appear in a major way in the book.

Don't forget the "Second Jungle Book". It has more of the Mowgli
stories, and a number of other animal tales as well. Since my copy of
"The Jungle Book" is an edition (printed by Penguin) which contains
all of the stories of both the First and Second Jungle Books, I can't
give you any details on which stories you will find in the Second
book, but I certainly recommend reading both parts.

Baloo is the bear, Shere Kahn is the tiger, Rama is Mowgli's wolf-father,
and Bagheera is the panther.
Prettig daag!

I hate to tell you this, but Rikki-Tikki-Tavi was not in the movie of
"The Jungle Book", and was not a character in the Mowgli stories.
Rikki-Tikki-Tavi was, however, the title character in one of the
non-Mowgli in the book.

elephant Colonel's name. The wolf father's name is Rama and the
tiger's name is Shere-khan.
I missed the original posting, so I apologize if these were mentioned
before.

crocodile : I dont remember a croc in Jungle Book (But, I haven't watched
the whole thing) There is a croc in Peter Pan, though.
I'll ask my children about the other names tonight
