At the village entrance, however, Mowgli looks uncertain at his guardians. Baloo begs Mowgli to come back to live in the jungle, having convinced himself that Mowgli can survive in it after all, while Bagheera encourages Mowgli to keep following the girl. Baloo realizes he is right and enthusiastically suggests they head back to where they belong. Having gained respect for Baloo, Bagheera loosens up and the two sing “Bare Necessities” while strolling into the jungle. Level-headed and intelligent, the panther is amongst the most down-to-earth residents of the jungle. When first introduced, he is seen as a selfless and caring individual, rescuing the orphaned Mowgli, and going out of his way to ensure his safety from that moment forward.

The alpha wolf, Akela, declares that Mowgli must leave the pack before Shere Khan discovers him, as the tiger will seek to kill the boy along with anyone who protects him. Mowgli’s father, Rama, protests as his son lacks a wolf’s survival instincts and would die if he was sent to live on his own. Akela, Rama, and the council elders approve of Bagheera’s plan and wish him good luck. Bagheera is the wise and respectable black panther (leopard) who lives in the Seoni jungle in India. His life changes when he discovers the infant man-cub, Mowgli, in a wrecked canoe and dedicates himself to ensure the safety of the young boy by putting him in the care of the wolves and watch over him until he is ready to rejoin humanity.

The wolves name the baby Mowgli and make him in as part of their wolf family. There, Mowgli is nurtured for 10 years, with Bagheera often stopping by to check on him and occasionally take him on walks through the jungle. However, Bagheera admits to himself that as much as he knows how happy Mowgli is with jungle life, the boy must return to his own kind someday. The next morning, the duo are awakened by an earthquake, which was caused by a platoon of marching elephants led by Colonel Hathi.

Soon, however, Bagheera realizes his mistake when he hears a loud roar not far from where he left the boy and runs to his aid. Thinking Baloo is a bad influence on Mowgli, Bagheera declares that there is no time to fool around as the boy must go to the Man Village as soon as possible. However, Baloo takes Mowgli’s side, believing the Man Village will “ruin” the boy and “make a man out of him”, and promises to take care of him.

When Shere Khan returns to the jungle, Bagheera offers to take Mowgli to a nearby human village for his safety. Bagheera conflicts with Baloo regarding Mowgli, but Bagheera reminds him of Shere Khan and convinces him to help him. When Mowgli runs away from Baloo, Bagheera tries to gain help from Hathi and his herd of elephants in finding him. Bagheera consoles Mowgli when he thinks Shere Khan has killed Baloo trying to defend him, but Baloo wakes much to Bagheera’s anger, having thought him dead.

None but Mowgli ever learn that Bagheera once wore a collar and chain, explaining the cat’s special insight concerning men. Because he had learned the ways of men, he was also more loving to the abandoned human child who came to be under his care and protection. Bagheera spends many hours looking for Mowgli, but does not find him until he hears the battle between Shere Khan, Mowgli, Baloo, and a group of vultures. The panther arrives when the battle has been won and sees Mowgli trying to revive Baloo’s motionless body on the ground. Believing Baloo to be dead, Bagheera comforts the boy and eulogizes the bear, who slowly begins to wake up. Mowgli blames himself for Baloo’s apparent demise and is about to follow Bagheera to the Man Village when Baloo, touched by the panther’s eulogy, reveals himself to be alive when he calls for more.

Later on, Mowgli rides on Bagheera’s back as the two begin the journey to the Man Village. A tired Mowgli finally asks the panther when they are heading back to the wolf den, but is shocked to learn that Bagheera is taking him to live with his own kind. As it is getting late, Bagheera takes Mowgli to a tree branch to rest for the night.

Bagheera advises the man-cub to get some sleep as they will continue their journey early in the morning, but Mowgli insists that he is not afraid of any danger and can take care of himself. As the panther is nearly asleep, he is oblivious of Kaa, the python, descending from the tree branches above and hypnotizing Mowgli to sleep while coiling him up as he prepares to eat him. Being too relaxed and comfortable to resist further, Mowgli begins to fall into a trance but not before attempting to call Bagheera for help.

With staff deployment decisions and service operating models varying considerably from employer to employer there is not a simple one size fits all solution. In July 2021 minor changes in wording were agreed by the NHS Staff Council to provide clarification on the important differences between the band 2 and band 3 profiles, not to change the essence of the profiles themselves.

They should work these issues through at local trust level in conjunction with staff side representatives and update job information accordingly. He was panther and Mowgli’s closest friend and mentors, the one to give him great support at times in which the strict and disciplined teacher Baloo could not provide that support, at a point the panther would call the boy “Little Brother”. Hathi had no recollection of Mowgli and the panther had to remind him again. Unbeknownst to Bagheera, Shere Khan was nearby overhearing the conversation and began to search for Mowgli himself. Hathi refused to search for the man-cub but his wife, Winifred threatened to overthrow him if he does not help find him. For the sake of his own son, Hathi agrees and splits his herd into small groups and had them search all over.

Bagheera is the first major character to appear in the film and he narrates the first part of the film too. Initially, Bagheera has no intention of getting involved and is about to leave when he thinks for a moment and is unable to bring himself to willingly let an innocent man-cub perish. Feeling responsible for the child’s safety and knowing that the man-cub is in need of nourishment, he brings the baby to a family of wolves he knew who recently had cubs. He knew there wouldn’t be any problems with Raksha, the mother wolf, but was a little apprehensive about the father wolf, Rama.

He is a wise black panther, a friend among many in the jungle and a “second father” to Mowgli, the man cub. Bagheera also serves as a foil to Baloo, whom the former views as a “shiftless, stupid jungle bum.” The two have opposite personalities, and continuously annoy one another with their need to push their own personal opinions onto each other. Nevertheless, these conflicts mostly centered around Mowgli’s fate, and the two generally share a brotherly bond. Following the climax, when it appeared Baloo had met his demise, Bagheera revealed that he truly did care for the bear, and was notably embarrassed to see that Baloo had overheard his heartfelt eulogy. Once Mowgli made the decision to return to the Man Village, Bagheera and Baloo joyfully returned to their lives in the jungle, setting aside their differences and remaining best friends.

To protect Mowgli from the threat of the murderous tiger Shere Khan, Bagheera volunteered to take the man-cub to the Man Village, but Mowgli refused and wanted to stay in the jungle.

Hearing Shere Khan’s roar, Bagheera leads them by his tail to a pack of wolves, who adopt them as Mowgli is kind to one of their species.
