Trivia

 * Some episodes take place in the actual location. (For example; The Cat that Walked by Herself took place in the late Pleistocene Germany and How the Rhinoceros Got His Skin took place in Indonesia.)
 * It's half comedy because of some scenes (such as Tabaqui-appearing scenes) and half drama because of some scenes are much similar to Kipling's dramatic tone.
 * Some unnamed animals will have names.
 * Many elements were added to expand the story to one hour.
 * Some minor characters, such as Chil and Grey Brother, will have larger roles.
