Happy 22nd Anniversary, The Jungle Book 2

Today is the 22nd Anniversary of my favorite childhood movie...

The Jungle Book 2!

It has now been 22 years since we have seen Mowgli's new life in the Man Village living with his girlfriend, Shanti,

and his foster brother, Ranjan!

He still has the Jungle Rhythm in him, thus he misses his jungle home where he was raised in.

Not just that, Baloo the Bear

and Bagheera miss him too, and Baloo had to take Mowgli from the Man Village, leading Shanti and Ranjan to be in the jungle too.

However, word of this went to Shere Khan, as he was plotting his revenge.

Also, this movie had started the trend of Kaa hypnotizing female victims because of an encounter with Shanti.

Would the Snake Squad like taking about thier families?

I feel like Hiss and Jormungandr would, the rest… not so much

Hiss loves to talk about how wonderful his mother is/was. She was the one who made Hiss the sweet and intelligent serpent he is today, so he puts his mother on a pedestal.

Jormungandr may not see his siblings as often as he likes to but I like to think he’s close with Hecka (Hel) and Fenrir. He has no problem talking about them and sharing stories of when they were younger and more innocent. He’d also talk about his mother, Angrboda and how she tried her best with them. His father, Loki, is a bit of a touchy subject though

I think Ushari did have a family or at least a group of other cobras living in his hole in the Pridelands, but he hasn’t spoken to any of them since he turned to the dark side and honestly doesn’t want to think about what they think of him now. At least he still has his friends (the skinks and Kenge) to talk about

Fu-xi’s family is a suuuper touchy subject for him since they were mercilessly and needlessly killed by two-leggers. The memories of them, while all positive, makes him emotional. I will say Fu-xi does reminisce about his wife and 3 kids and how much he loved them. Talking about them just makes everybody sad :(

As for Kaa, what family? “What is thissss ‘family’ you ssspeak of?”

A Titan of the Indian Ocean: The Tyrant Shesha

Slithering through the lush reefs and seagrass meadows of the Indian Ocean lurks a slow, calculating predator, one of the biggest and most dangerous one can find in these waters. The largest non-tiamat snake of the Artechocene, the Tyrant Shesha (Nagaraja imperator).

This titan is a naga, a member of a group of large python descendants that share mostly aquatic habits, large tail scales, sometimes forming a crocodilian-like tail paddle. Species that live in reefs like this one stay still in between rock crevices or below sediment for hours, waiting for prey to come close enough to launch their heads at it, no matter if the target is several times larger than one might expect a predator that size to take. After that, they usually stay without eating until it's fully digested usually coming out to shore to rest or breed.

The Tyrant Shesha however, is different, it has grown so large it can no longer support its own body, and remains underwater pretty much all of their adults lives, as only their young are small enough to go out of the water. Their size has its benefits though, as they are able to tackle the largest prey around: from sharks, to seabirds, to small to medium sized thalassochelonians, to the young of the largest animals of the Artechocene ocean, like Tiamats or Iricts.

One population, living in the Somalian seaway, takes advantage of the migratory patterns of the Spotted Tiamat, the smallest of the Tiamats.

They stalk the shallows where they come every few years to give birth en masse, and instead of feasting of the fast, relatively hard to catch newborns, they strike the large tired mothers as they finish delivering the next generation, and constrict them until they drown, dragging them to the seafood and swallowing them whole, a feast that can make them go for a few months without eating.

Bruce’s hypnotic encounter (request for @toycoheartful)

“Great, I can’t believe I’m lost in this stupid jungle, How am I going to find my way out of here?” Complained Bruce Stone, What happen earlier is that he and and his friends are exploring a jungle and decided to camp there for the night but Bruce lost track of them and now since the jungle is known to be extremely dangerous at night, this causes Bruce to worry that what if a tiger comes out and mauls his or what if he accidentally stepped on a poison tree frog. So what’s the safest possible option for him? Climb up to a very tall tree. Although the trees are noticeably tall here, he did found the perfect tree to sit on its branch, although climbing was a struggle for him but managed to get on the branch in no time. “This will be perfectly, wait till I wake up and yell out for help so that way my friends could notice the echo of mine, but from now I needed some goodnight’s rest.” Before he could sit there and sleep. There was a familiar figure that resembles a snake. Bruce didn’t realize that it was not only the infamous Indian rock python, Kaa and he was hanging on another branch with his extremely long snake body, finally catching his only prey to hypnotize and eat. “Excusssssssssse Me” He hiss as he was getting closer to Bruce, which jolted him awake and give him quite a scare. “You can talk?!” He asked surprisingly, He never seen a python who can talk. “Oh Yesssssssssss, and it sssssssssseemsssssss like your ssssssssleepy, let me help you with that!” Kaa’s eyes begin to shine colorful rings of blue, yellow, and green. Same goes for Bruce, his eyes also have colorful rings, He tried to look away, but can no longer resist due to Kaa’s powerful hypnotic spell. Bruce was now in a hypnotized state, The world faded into a spiral of Green, blue, and yellow rings, a goofy grin begins to shine on his face while being in a trance. Kaa begins to coil up his hypnotized prey by wrapping his long tail around Bruce’s body. And when his tail finally reaches Bruce’s neck, Kaa squeezed the hypnotized man. Causing Bruce to let out a gulp. If Bruce wasn’t hypnotized, it would be a hard struggle to pry free from Kaa’s tightening coils, but he can no longer do that, not anymore. He was still hypnotized, colorful spirals were still in his eyes, and a long, goofy grin was imprinted on his face while being coiled up by Kaa who eyes return to normal. “What a cutie you are, Now, I’m feeling quite hungry, now you ssssstay there and let me gobble you up.” Kaa hungrily said, He open up his mouth which extended in a wide range. He let his coils carry the hypnotized Bruce Stone and push him headfirst into his maw and throat. In an instant swallow, Kaa ate him whole. “*glup* *sigh*, Oh what as delicious sssssssnack I have recently” Kaa sighed while wiping his mouth with his end tail like a napkin. “I know ihisssss friendsssss are out there too, I’ll make them join him inssssside of me.” Kaa said while giggling and slid his way out of here. So that way he could have Bruce’s friends as a meal according to him. Meanwhile inside of Kaa, Bruce was still in a hypnotized state, the digestive fluids covering him and the sounds of gurgling didn’t bother him at all, his eyes started to shut down which leads to Bruce falling into a deep sleep while being inside of the python.

[scientistservant]

im sorry if this comes off weird but i think ur love of fictional snakes is really wholesome as someone who also loves snakes :) do you have a favorite species of irl snake?

Thank you! ;3;

Pythons! They're so cute with their :3 mouths and puppy dog faces! Indian Rock Pythons are my personal favourites, for rather obvioussssssss reasons.

Banana Ball Pythons are another favourite of mine of the species. Look at that little face!!! 🍌

Hognoses are very cute, too ;3;

Cobras are cool, but I only like them for aesthetic reasons lol Wouldn't want to be alone with one unless it were behind a glass case or something.

I'm also low-key finding grass snakes to be adorable as well since I personally headcanon Sir Hiss as being one, seeing as they're native to Britian!

Thanks for the ask!! 💖

Reptile Rescue: Creating Safe Habitats for Cold-Blooded Creatures When most people think of wildlife rescue, they picture elephants, big cats, or birds. But India’s rich biodiversity includes thousands of reptile species—snakes, lizards, turtles, and crocodilians—that are often overlooked in rescue efforts. These cold-blooded creatures suffer from habitat loss, urban encroachment, road accidents, poaching, and the exotic pet trade.

Fortunately, sanctuaries like Vantara Anant Ambani are expanding the definition of compassionate care to include reptiles, creating specialized habitats that support their survival and healing.

🦎 Why Reptile Rescue Matters

Reptiles play vital roles in ecosystems as predators, scavengers, and prey. Yet, when they’re displaced or injured, they’re often misunderstood or feared rather than helped. Many rescued reptiles come from:

Illegal wildlife trade

Injuries from traffic or agricultural machinery

Burns from wildfires or electrocution

Pet abandonment due to size or behavioral issues

Their recovery requires expert care, species-specific knowledge, and carefully controlled environments.

🏞️ Building the Right Habitat

Unlike mammals or birds, reptiles rely heavily on their environment to regulate body temperature and behavior. Sanctuaries like Vantara Anant Ambani are creating habitats that meet the unique needs of each reptile species. Key features include:

1. Thermal Zoning

Basking spots with UVB lighting or natural sunlight

Cooler retreat zones to avoid overheating

Substrate that retains warmth for burrowers

2. Humidity Control

Misting systems and water features for species like turtles and pythons

Dry, sandy enclosures for desert lizards and certain snake species

3. Naturalistic Design

Logs, rocks, and climbing branches for movement

Hiding spots for stress reduction

Native plant life to simulate the wild

🛠️ Medical and Nutritional Rehabilitation

Reptiles rescued from captivity or injury often face:

Metabolic bone disease from lack of UV exposure

Dehydration and starvation

Shell rot or scale infections

Parasitic infestations

Sanctuary veterinarians address these with targeted treatments, appropriate diets (live prey, insects, greens, etc.), and gradual environmental adaptation.

🌿 Behavior and Enrichment

Though reptiles aren’t as expressive as mammals, they still benefit from:

Foraging challenges using hidden food

Obstacle climbing and burrowing opportunities

Seasonal environmental changes to mimic natural cycles

This stimulation supports better health and more natural behaviors, increasing the odds of survival if released.

🐢 A Real-Life Rescue Story

At Vantara Anant Ambani, a rescued Indian Star Tortoise was found dehydrated and inactive after being smuggled for illegal trade. Through months of careful hydration, basking therapy, and a tailored diet, the tortoise slowly regained its strength. Today, it roams a specially designed habitat with other rehabilitated tortoises, thriving in safety.

🔁 When Release Isn’t Possible

Some reptiles cannot return to the wild due to permanent injury or loss of natural survival skills. These animals become long-term residents in sanctuaries, contributing to:

Educational programs on reptile conservation

Research on reptilian health and welfare

Ecosystem modeling within protected enclosures

🧬 Conclusion

Reptiles may not seek affection or display emotions the way mammals do, but they are just as deserving of care and respect. Sanctuaries like Vantara Anant Ambani are proving that every species—from sloth bears to star tortoises—deserves a second chance.

Because every scale, shell, and slither matters.

An Indian Rock Python lurking beneath the surface

[daily-fun-animal-facts]

got any fun facts about pythons? squiggly noodles

I do! I shall give you noodle friends for you mr happynoodle then you shall be a pasta! (an inedible one, but friend shaped)

African rock pythons feed on everything from birds and bats to medium-sized mammals. The larger python captures warthogs, and bushbucks, swallowing them whole. Poultry, dogs and goats are also at risk of attack. A huge meal takes months to digest.

Timor pythons are considered one of the most nervous and high-strung pythons.

Indian pythons hunt mainly at night, aided by heat-sensing pits in their upper and lower jaws. These organs are highly sensitive to the slightest change in temperature and help pinpoint the location of warm-blooded prey. Indian pythons, like other snakes, also use chemoreception to track prey and investigate their environment. The snake will flick its tongue to gather chemical samples from the atmosphere and deliver them to a special organ in the roof of the mouth – the Jacobson’s organ – where they are analyzed.

Pythons are the most ancient type of snake. All pythons have spurs – tiny projections where their ancestors might once have had legs.

Have a lovely day my friend! <3

My version of the Jungle Book that I wrote before the 2016 version

The Jungle Book

During the British Raj in India, Nathoo, the two-year-old son of a woman named Messua, wanders out of his family’s campsite into the jungle while chasing after a butterfly. His family’s attempts to find him are hindered by an attack by the Bengal tiger Shere Khan. Meanwhile, Akela and Raksha, a pair of Indian wolves raising a family of cubs, are concerned to learn that Shere Khan is hunting in their part of the jungle, because he might kill men and bring human retribution upon all the jungle’s inhabitants. Tabaqui the golden jackal is known to be the tiger’s ally and sidekick. When Nathoo comes across their den, Raksha decides to adopt the hairless “man-cub”. Her determination is only strengthened by the arrival of Shere Khan, who demands the cub for his meal. The wolves drive off the tiger and Raksha renames the baby Mowgli. At the wolf pack’s meeting at Council Rock, Baloo the bear and Bagheera the panther undertake the task of educating Mowgli as he grows up. Meanwhile, Shere Khan plans to take revenge on the wolf pack by persuading the younger wolves to depose of Akela, while Tabaqui enlists the help of a pack of dholes to act as reinforcements. When Mowgli is seven years old, he is tutored in the Law of the Jungle by Baloo. These lessons include the “Master Words” for various species that identify the speaker as a friend. Bagheera is impressed with Mowgli’s progress, but both are horrified when the man-cub then reveals that he has been visiting the Bandar-log (“Monkey-People”). Baloo and Bagheera insist that the Bandar-log are a boastful and ignorant race who have no laws, which is why they are shunned by the rest of the jungle. Mowgli is suitably chastened, but soon afterward he is abducted by the Bandar-log who take him on a terrifying but exhilarating rush through the treetops. Seeing Chil the Kite flying above, Mowgli gives the kites’ Master Word and tells Chil to find Baloo and Bagheera. Upon being informed that Mowgli has been taken to the ‘Cold Lairs’, an abandoned human fort, the bear and the panther, unable to follow the monkeys at ground level, recall that the monkeys’ only fear is Kaa the python. They manage to locate Kaa, discovering to their surprise that the python is a female, and Bagheera cunningly goads her into helping them by repeating (or inventing) some of the Bandar-log’s insults against her. In the Cold Lairs, the monkeys demand that Mowgli teach them how to make fire and fireworks like other humans. However, since he was not raised by humans, Mowgli does not know how to do so. When Baloo, Bagheera and Kaa arrive the monkeys throw Mowgli into an abandoned “summer-house” inhabited by cobras, whereupon Mowgli hastily uses the snakes’ Master Word to prevent them from striking. When the bear and panther enter the Cold Lairs, a comical battle ensues. Baloo and Bagheera are by far the more powerful fighters, but they are vastly outnumbered. Kaa is delayed by a large section of walls but gets through, scatters the crowd of monkeys fighting Baloo and Bagheera, breaks down the wall of the summer house and frees Mowgli, who thanks her courteously. The python then performs her “hunger dance”, hypnotising the Bandar-log so they cannot run away. Baloo and Bagheera are also hypnotised, but Mowgli, being human, is immune and snaps them out of their trances. Once away, the three of them go home. When Mowgli turns 11, the wolf tribe learns that Shere Khan has returned to the jungle. Bagheera overhears Shere Khan’s plan and warns Mowgli. Later that night, Mowgli meets Kaa and tells her the news. Kaa does not believe that Mowgli and the pack will survive a direct assault by Shere Khan’s forces, and takes him to the Bee Rocks: a gorge where huge hives produced by millions of wild bees overhang the river. The two devise a plan to lure the dholes to the gorge so that the bees will attack them. Mowgli therefore lies in wait for the dholes in a tree-branch and smears himself with garlic to repel the bees. When the dholes arrive he taunts their leader into a furious rage before fleeing to the gorge. Just before leaping into the water Mowgli kicks piles of stones into the beehives, to arouse the bees. The garlic prevents the bees from attacking Mowgli, and he dives safely into the river where Kaa swiftly coils around his body to prevent the current from sweeping him away. With the treat of the dholes eliminated, Mowgli prepares to take on Shere Khan, stealing a pot of burning coals and some fireworks from his former home village in order to use it against the tiger. At Council Rock Shere Khan demands that Akela be killed and the man-cub given to him. Mowgli attacks Shere Khan with a burning branch while the other wolves do battle with the traitorous wolves. During the chaos, the fireworks are set alight. With some last minute help from Baloo, Bagheera and Kaa, Mowgli drives Shere Khan into a herd of buffalo, where the tiger is trampled to death. After the wolves drive Tabaqui and the rest of Shere Khan’s allies away, Mowgli finds Akela, mortally wounded, who tells Mowgli that he must soon return to the human race. Mowgli promises to return one day, and after a heartfelt farewell, departs for the village, where he is reunited with Messua and her husband, who recognize him as their long-lost son, as Baloo, Bagheera and Kaa look on. Content that Mowgli is with his own kind, the trio decide to head home.

The Second Jungle Book

A year after the events of the first film, Mowgli is living in the human village with his biological parents, Messua and her husband, Parash. Here, he learns various human customs, few of which impress him. He is also disrespectful to the village elders when they tell fanciful tales of the jungle, since he has first-hand experience of what the jungle is really like. This earns him the particular contempt of Buldeo, the village’s chief hunter, who dreams that the village could one day become an important town and that the jungle could be conquered. Missing his life in the jungle, Mowgli regularly sneaks out of the village to meet his wolf friend Gray Brother (or “Gray” for short) who brings him news of the jungle in secret. He becomes friends with Buldeo’s niece, Bala, much to Buldeo’s chagrin. One day, Bala, out of curiosity, follows Mowgli as he heads out to meet Gray, seeing them together as the wolf tells him of an ancient, abandoned city deep in the jungle. When she reveals herself, Mowgli confesses all and has her sworn to secrecy, but she urges him to show her more of the jungle, something that Buldeo has denied her. Mowgli and Gray bring Bala to the ruins, where the two end up falling into a hidden chamber in a ruined palace, containing fabulous wealth guarded by an albino cobra, Thuu, who calls himself “WhiteHood”. As Gray runs off to seek help, the cobra boasts of how all who have come seeking the ancient treasure have fallen victim to his venom. This turns out to be a lie, however, when Gray returns with Kaa, who reveals that the poison in Thuu’s fangs has dried up from disuse. Warned by the cobra that the wealth brings death, they leave the chamber, but Bala takes one coin as a memento. After Mowgli introduces her to Kaa, and later Baloo, Bagheera and Hathi the elephant, the two decide to spend their free time secretly visiting the other inhabitants of the jungle. Buldeo soon sees the coin that Bala had kept, and after failing to have her tell him where she got it, sends his accomplice, Mahee, to spy on her and Mowgli. Mahee overhears Bala voicing her concerns over her uncle becoming suspicious to Mowgli and, hearing of the treasure, relays this information to Buldeo. The hunter later confronts Mowgli and demands that the boy tell him where the treasure is, threatening him with a gun when he refuses. Gray arrives in the nick of time to save Mowgli by restraining Buldeo. When they let him go, the hunter, convinced that Mowgli is a shapeshifting sorcerer, returns to the village and tells the villagers of his beliefs. Mowgli is imprisioned, but escapes into the jungle with the help of Bala, Baloo, Bagheera, Kaa and Messua. However, Messua, along with Parash, who tries to defend her, are imprisoned and threatened with death. When Gray accidentally interrupts Buldeo’s conversation with Mahee and a charcoal-burner, Tapa, the hunter, believing him to be Mowgli shapeshifted into wolf form, gives an ultimatum: unless Mowgli reveals the treasure’s location, Messua and Parash will be executed. Gray warns Mowgli and his friends and the man-cub heads out to confront Buldeo. He sends the hunter and his allies on a wild goose chase by directing him to the Cold Lairs and, after ordering the wolves and other animals to further sabotage him and prevent him from reaching the treasure, returns to the village with Bala and Raksha to rescue his parents. After they are freed, Messua and Parash escape to the river, guarded by Raksha at a discreet distance, while Bagheera and Kaa arrive and take their place in the hut, so that when the villagers arrive to take out the prisoners they get an “unpleasant surprise”. Meanwhile, Buldeo becomes wise to the animals’ antics and, along with Mahee and Tapa, follows Gray to the lost city, where they find the treasure, including a jeweled ankus. Upon realizing that he has led the enemy to the gold, Gray runs to the village and warns Mowgli and Bala. Thuu attempts to intimidate the men into fleeing, but is shot in his hood by Buldeo before the trio take as much as they can carry and depart, before stopping for the night. However, an argument ensues after Mahee tries to steal the ankus from Tapa’s share. During their bickering, Mowgli and Bala arrive, and the former has Gray and the other wolves chase the three from the jungle, forcing them to jettison the treasure they’d been carrying, including the ankus. The pair make it back to the village the next morning to find Bagheera and Kaa captured by the villagers after they were mistaken for the shapeshifted forms of Messua and Parash. After Mowgli rescues them, Buldeo, Mahee and Tapa arrive back in the village. Enraged and maddened, Buldeo tries to kill Mowgli despite Bala and the other villagers’ attempts to stop him. Mowgli, Bagheera and Kaa are forced to flee back into the jungle, but Buldeo sets a cart full of hay ablaze, using it to start a forest fire. The fire rages, but the wind turns and threatens the village. As the villagers flee, Mowgli enlists the help of Hathi and his sons, and they extinguish the fire with the water in their trunks. At the river, the animals and the villagers come face to face with each other, and Buldeo is stunned when he sees Mowgli and Gray side by side. The villagers, upon realizing their mistake, become repentant, and Mowgli forgives them. He is invited to rejoin his parents, but decides to stay in the jungle to help animals trapped by the fire. Afterwards, while tending to Thuu, who has recovered from his injury, Mowgli begins to miss Bala, while she is missing him as well. Both the animals and the villagers encourage them to be with each other, and they reunite in the village, though they return to visit Mowgli’s friends in the jungle on a regular basis. The narrator reveals that they grew up and had a child; “but that is a story for grown-ups“.

The Warden, Lord Stingray, and Kaa

“YOU IDIOT!!! This is YOUR fault that we got lost!!!!” Yelled Lord Stingray, basically what happen that these two got lost in the jungle and now they are arguing about who’s fault it was that they got lost.“Well IM Sorrrrry STING-Ray!, if it weren’t for you, we wouldn’t be lost in this spooky jungle thanks to YOU!!” The Warden shouted back. While their argument gets more heated, An Indian rock python named Kaa heard their yelling “I have found my next, Double Prey” he thought and comes down over to meet Lord Stingray and Warden. “Sssssssay Now, What are we fighting about man-cubssssss” Warden and Lord Stingray were in for a surprise, spellbounded that this snake could actually talk. “Maybe ssssome hypnossssssssis could help you to relax.” Spirals of colors began appearing on his eyes. And so does The Warden and Lord Stingray, the world around them has become rings of colors and the two are now in a hypnotized state. Kaa starts to wrap his coils around them, squeezing their necks to curb any resistance. And now that his prey are finally hypnotized and coiled up. Kaa opens his snake mouth and begins to devour the hypnotized Lord Stingray first, and then The Warden.
