Have you seen the new live-action version, 3.5 readers?
I suppose my question apply to the cartoon version as well.
Someone call an animal expert but wolves and bears are only in forests right? Are there any jungle bears or jungle wolves?
“BQB this is a movie for dumb kids who don’t these things.”
Oh right. Thank you 3.5 readers.

Kipling derived Baloo from the Himalayan brown bear, which does live around region of Nepal, Tibet, India, and does make its home in the jungle. The same goes for the Kipling’s wolves….their called the Indian Wolves, which live around the Indian Subcontinent, similar to the Tibetan wolves.
Blast! Foiled by Kipling again!
