Ecological inaccuracies


I wish more care had been taken to have accurate animals in the jungles of India were the film takes place. I know Louie was an inaccuracy from the cartoon as orangutans don't live in India but they could have explained he escaped from a zoo or circus, though in this film they just make him a Gigantopithicus. There should not have been tucans, antelope, and the elephants should have been Indian elephants not African.

I think most people know a lot of the animals don't fit together. It's a magical jungle.

I choose to believe what I was programmed to believe

I agree, except that those were hornbills, indigenous to India, and those were small-eared Indian elephants, from what I could make out. Blackbucks are the Indian antelope.

Are you being serious?

First of all, the source material. Second, nobody says anything about India. This is a fantasy and isn't set in any real place.

Third, it would be entirely beside the point to worry about that stuff.
