Bagheera even though Baloo defends Mowgli while the protective black panther shelters the boy. No scars are visible on the cartoon Disney drawings of Bagheera to hint at his captive past either. Bagheera is also one of the major characters left out of the "TaleSpin" series which used several "Jungle Book" characters. However, many of Shere Khan's employees and military personnel are black panthers very similar in appearance to Bagheera. In the prequel cartoon series "Jungle Cubs", Bagheera was voiced by Elizabeth Daily and Dee Bradley Baker, and was often made fun of by his friends, especially the bully Shere Khan.
SITAR GY-100 Bagheera SITAR GY-100 Bagheera The SITAR GY-100 Bagheera (named after Bagheera, a character in Rudyard Kipling's "The Jungle Book") was a light aircraft designed and built in France in the late 1960s. Designed by Yves Gardan, it was a low-wing, cantilever monoplane of conventional layout with fixed, tricycle undercarriage. The fully enclosed cabin had seating for up to four people in 2+2 configuration. Construction was of metal throughout. Type certification was granted in 1971, and Gardan hoped to market the Bagheera through his company, SITAR. However, with the oil crisis looming and after the prototype disintegrated in flight, Gardan abandoned development.
