==Background==
Rama is a member of a wolf pack that Bagheera was familiar with. At the beginning of the film, he and his mate Raksha had recently had a litter of pups. Likewise, he is the adopted father of Mowgli. He is at first resistant to adopting a Man-Cub, but in the end decides to do it. When Mowgli has to leave ten years later, Rama is reluctant, but eventually decides it is best for Mowgli.
