They mock the wolves for allowing a man-cub to live amongst them, and question the wolves’ own identity (WE ARE WOLVES). Shere Khan, the tiger, enters along with Tabaqui, the jackal. They discuss who might take over from him. Some of the wolf pack have gathered, shocked to hear that Akela has missed his kill. Showing off to the others, he is then embarrassed and ashamed when his mother wolf, Raksha, enters. Bagheera, the panther, enters and reminds Mowgli that dangers lurk everywhere in the jungle, but Mowgli is very confident in his own survival skills (LEADER OF THE PACK). Mowgli is late: he has been talking with the monkeys – the Bandar-log – for which he is immediately scolded by Baloo. They see Baloo the bear enter the clearing, closely followed by a number of young wolves ready for today’s lessons. With her eggs ready to hatch any day, Chil, the kite, is pleased at the return of her partner, Bill. The scene is set as the ensemble sing the opening song (SOMEWHERE IN THE JUNGLE), telling us a little of the history of Mowgli’s time in the jungle and how he was welcomed by everybody.
