Akela (also called The Lone Wolf or Big Wolf) is a fictional character in Rudyard Kipling's stories, The Jungle Book and The Second Jungle Book. He is the leader of the Seeonee pack of Indian wolves and presides over the pack's council meetings. It is at such a meeting that the pack adopts the lost child Mowgli and Akela becomes one of Mowgli's mentors.
Akelā means "single or solitary" in Hindi and Urdu. Kipling also calls him the Lone Wolf:
Kipling portrays Akela with the character of an English gentleman. This is shown by his recurring references to the honour of the pack. He is large and grey and leads the pack by virtue of his strength and cunning.
The leader of a group of the Scouting Organisation, the Cubs, is called Akela after this character. The cubs usually chant in their pack meetings, "Akela, we will do our best".
Nine or ten years after Mowgli's adoption, his enemy Shere Khan the tiger, with the aid of some young wolves he has persuaded to support him, plans to depose Akela so that he will no longer be able to defend Mowgli. A wolf who becomes too old to hunt is traditionally driven out or killed by his pack. Akela is far from decrepit, but the young wolves deliberately drive a young, healthy buck deer toward him, knowing that he will not be able to catch it. When the council meets to depose Akela, Mowgli defends him with a blazing branch and drives Shere Khan and his allies away.

Genres: Adventure, Animation, Short,Times are hard for our jungle friends; the lack of prey grows greater every day, and the threat of starvation becomes more and more real. In the meantime, an old, solitary wolf named Fargas appears and claims to have been a good friend of Alexander's. He proceeds to save Mowgli from an oncoming buffalo such that Mowgli accepts the newcomer unconditionally, but Baghera is suspicious of him. One night while the pack is out hunting, its precious reserves of food are looted. Akela is quick to blame Baccus, and gives him a stiff punishment, however Mowgli is determined to prove the wolf's innocence. click here to watch the full playlist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ti_OHRpUwwQ&list;=PLYXievo3ibiUrbmKlWMbY53Qwv8rIaXGT subscribe to our channel: http://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1H4TpuRT7msxfq...

Akela is seriously iniured in a fight with a pack of hyenas, but instead of taking measures to heal himself, he refuses to eat and won't accept any form of treatment because he feels his time has come. Shortly afterwards, he passes away as he had foreseen. click here to watch the full playlist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ti_OHRpUwwQ&list;=PLYXievo3ibiUrbmKlWMbY53Qwv8rIaXGT subscribe to our channel: http://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1H4TpuRT7msxfqG0jt3sNw?sub_confirmation=1

The Law for the Wolves Rudyard Kipling (1865–1936) NOW this is the law of the jungle, as old and as true as the sky, And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die. As the creeper that girdles the tree trunk, the law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the pack is the wolf, and the strength of the wolf is the pack. Wash daily from nose tip to tail tip; drink deeply, but never too deep; And remember the night is for hunting and forget not the day is for sleep. The jackal may follow the tiger, but, cub, when thy whiskers are grown, Remember the wolf is a hunter—go forth and get food of thy own. Keep peace with the lords of the jungle, the tiger, the panther, the bear; And trouble not Hathi the Silent, and mock no...
Our friends offer refuge to several wolves who are being pursued by hunters. After a long absence, Lala's father Vermillion, and Sandah, Akela's son, return home. When he learns of Alexander's death, Vermillion offers to take leadership of the pack. However, Sandah does not like the idea because he resents the presence of Mowgli, a perceived member of the cruel human race that kills for the pleasure of killing. Mowgli's curiosity then gets the better of him; he resolves to leave in order to meet other human beings, but, once again, he is caught by the monkeys acting on behalf of Shere Khan… click here to watch the full playlist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ti_OHRpUwwQ&list;=PLYXievo3ibiUrbmKlWMbY53Qwv8rIaXGT subscribe to our channel: http://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1H4TpuRT7msxfqG0jt...
Mowgli is preoccupied by the presumption that he cannot compete with the wolves of the pack, so when Akela asks for a volunteer to carry out a dangerous scouting mission, he does everything possible to be chosen. The boy carries out the mission successfully, even if he might have been less fortunate without the help of Baghera. Mowgli realizes that he still has much to learn, and so returns to Luri's den with his mind at peace. click here to watch the full playlist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ti_OHRpUwwQ&list;=PLYXievo3ibiUrbmKlWMbY53Qwv8rIaXGT subscribe to our channel: http://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1H4TpuRT7msxfqG0jt3sNw?sub_confirmation=1

A rope tightens
Breath constricted
No hand pulls this is self-inflicted sickness
Sickness
Self diagnosed without witness
Wish list grip fist
The beggary of riches
A belly full fights never willingly
An empty stomach does not have the energy to finish it
Layers in between
Padded by a dream
Stretching for the means
Without thought of exhausting the seams
No space for indiginity
On the face of simplicity
A taste of sufficiency's
A bellyfull of lethargy
A dash of apathy a pinch of extacy's a recipe
Serving up a feast for the beast of our treachery
Not sure if your getting celebrity's out effigy
I hear just fine
But I'm deaf to those next to me
Conflict it perplexes me
Cause out biggest battle
Is now we're so free that we choose to be shackled
I'm stuck freedom lasso
This invisible strain of the human stain
Colours every brain, vein
Thus chained to another's pain
We may not be the artist by we surely are the fram
We may just be the smoke
But we cannot blame the flame
Strange is the fruit
That nourishes not the vein
Yet we are odder still
For we seek it like the rain
Nothing bounds out path
Yet we march perfect in lane
Whoever saw a tiger that desired to be tamed?
Reality defies
Nature does not know surprise
Yet the lesion of our season blinds even the eagle's eyes
Spies dread not headlock tight as threadknot
Get lost why throw a bone to a dead dog?
This is not charity
That is just sarcasm
That's why we bite so hard and never bark at em
Spark at em's insane
It's play gather and prey
When even the mighty tiger
He desires to be tamed
I'm stuck freedome lasso
They act as if it's positive
Though it's so obviously derogative
And even if you're bobby
This is never your prerogative
It's obvious we're warriors
And crooked just like bobby is
But colleges and mockeries
Will never make a socrates
Apologies and robberies
They follow with atrocity
Sorrow and hypocrisy
Don't make very good crockery
Watchin' this it's horror bliss
And one day I will promise this
The day the tiger wakes
