* For some, the idea of Shere Khan, a tiger, being so vengeful might seem fictional, until one remembers, though rare, that there have been stories of tigers being vengeful and hunting down the ones the subject of their revenge (One reported case was what happened to a poacher named [[https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=129551459 Markov]]). Shere Khan's just a really special case, as most tigers go after one being in particular; Shere Khan goes after any human he sees.

* At first, Shere Khan's prejudice against hunans being due to having half his face burned by Mowgli's father may seem like an AdaptationInducedPlotHole due to him starting that fight. However, Raksha states during Shere Khan's introduction that he cares nothing about the law of the jungle and that he kills for pleasure and power, two traits that he hardly could have developed due to his fight with Mowgli's father. So, perhaps, when he saw Mowgli and his father, he thougth something around the lines of "A man and a man-cub. Now those are things that aren't on my wall. Until now".
