considering that for years they have been chanting strenth of the wolF is in the pack and the pack is in the wolF ,why in the world did sher khan walk away without a scratch from his pack, after attacking akela the leader itself!!seriously?
its almost like it was a formula:1 main character has to die but sher khan to fight at end with mowlgli only as big climax
that part was disappointing
Because there wouldn't be a story if that'd happened
I was thinking the same thing (why didn't they all pounce on the nasty tiger?) because obviously realistically one tiger could probably not take on a pack of 6+ wolves... I was also disappointed that baloo got beaten in a fight?! Baloo is massive and I'd think a bear would destroy a tiger lol
Fear. The wolves saw firsthand how dangerous Shere Khan was, and that he had no qualms about killing anyone who stood in his way. Also, Raksha likely had no idea how to handle the situation, now that the longtime pack leader was suddenly killed. Plus, even if they managed to beat him in a fight, he'd probably take out the pups and most of the pack with him. In the final battle, Shere Khan was swatting the wolves aside with little trouble, up until Bagheera distracted him.
As for Baloo, well, it's not unheard of for larger tigers in India and Russia to prey on bears. Baloo was also not an experienced fighter, while Shere Khan clearly had tangled with many animals before.
"Lives with no meaning go straight past you, like trains that don’t stop at your station."
Tigers do not kill adult Brown Bears, that's totally impossible.
An adult Brown Bear would always crush any Tiger with absolutely no effort. It wouldn't even be a fight at all.
I always tell the truth, even when I lie.
Yeah.
Baloo is *at least* 1500lbs - and as an older bear, probably closer to 1800lbs.
Khan is obviously an exceptionally large specimen, but even then he'd struggle to break 600lbs as a Bengal tiger.
In the real world Sher Khan would be crushed easily by Baloo.
I always tell the truth, even when I lie.
In spite of the way he is depicted in this movie, Baloo is a sloth bear, not a brown bear. Not only is that what he's stated to be in the book, Bagheera refers to him as a sloth bear in this movie. The only brown bears in India are Himalayan brown bears in the Jammu-Kashmir region of India, which is not in the sloth bear's range. Sloth bears are generally around 300 pounds, rarely over 400. They are adapted to feed mostly on ant and termites. Tigers do sometimes prey on them, but usually only if they can catch them by surprise. The sloth bear has exceptionally long claws, even for a bear!
Incidentally brown bears over most of their range rarely get much over 1000 pounds. Only in Alaska and northeastern Siberia do they often get over 1500 pounds.
Correct for the most part.
Yes, Baloo is a sloth bear but he was portraited with that enormous size and with this size he should have demolished Sher Khan with no effort at all.
And the biggest Brown Bear species generally are way bigger than 1000 pounds.
I always tell the truth, even when I lie.
Also, male Himalayan brown bears do not typically exceed 300 pounds, though Baloo was probably at least 400 pounds or so in the movie. They are a very small subspecies of brown bear, and Himalayan brown bears can be successfully attacked by tigers.
Besides, it's a movie. In this movie, Shere Khan is an unusually large tiger (probably more comparable to a Siberian tiger than a Bengal tiger in his size), and is one heck of a smart fighter who can't be beat just by brute strength.
"Lives with no meaning go straight past you, like trains that don’t stop at your station."
It doesn't matter. Against a regular adult Brown Bear Shere Khan would be mauled to death with absolutely no effort.
And Baloo is way bigger than 400 pounds in this movie.
I always tell the truth, even when I lie.
ummmm baloo is a sloth bear

He killed the leader. Remember the pack mentality they have.
shareIMDB_Vits:This is the answer. Once the Alpha Male was killed they would have been immediately unsure. When Khan killed Akela, they may have even seen Khan as the leader of their pack.
He killed the leader. Remember the pack mentality they have.
for sure.. in fact a later scene, thats exactly what happened, with all the little cubs surrounding the tiger listening to his wisdom.
sharelol that's not how wolves work.

In the real world, Baloo, the Sloth Bear, would not be even remotely close to as big as a brown bear. Sloth bears are easy prey for tigers.
So for the movie's sake, and the sake of entertainment, Baloo was transformed into a Eurasian Brown Bear.
And yes, in the real world, a Bengal Tiger would not be a match for a Brown Bear, but Siberian Tigers, have been known, and documented to attack and kill brown bears. But in reality, both of these apex predators usually avoid each other, rather than have a deadly confrontation.
That's false.
There haven't been any documented attacks of Siberian Tigers to fully grown adult Brown Bears.
A fully grown adult Brown Bear would crush any Siberian Tiger in just some seconds. It's not even a fight.
I always tell the truth, even when I lie.
That's just silly. The two animals don't exist in the same area.
The Siberian male at the Toronto Zoo passed away a few years back. He wasn't especially massive, but he was pretty big. If you'd let him loose in the bear den in the Canadian Domain, you would have seen such an attack. I recall what he did to the first female that they tried to mate with him....
The lion keeper told us that he would much rather face their entire wolf pack than even one of their lions. Food for thought.
I agree with you PressingEndeavor

Wow Great!

This is very normal wolf behavior. Take out the alpha and the others will become timid. The leader is gone.

Maybe the moral of the story was: don't believe any of that "code of conduct" bull, the real law of the jungle is "everyone is for himself".

Because khan needs to be scary and if any animal could just kick his ass he would seem powerless. So they made him overpowered.

I mean, the film was released 5 months prior to your post. You should probably avoid the boards your self if you don't want spoilers 5 months after release.
shareIf they were trying to be realistic, they wouldn't even have had the wolves in striking distance of the tiger. Animals the size of wolves keep their distance from tigers.
