backpack, he notices a few skeletons of people whom Kaa had killed in the past. Boone joins them while screaming in terror when Kaa unexpectedly appears and strikes, thus killing him. The Bandar-log and King Louie are happy and cheer over Boone's death. The Bandar-Log appear in the 2010 TV series. They are led by a female langur named Masha, who is their queen. In the 2016 film, the Bandar-log are portrayed as various species of Indian primates (namely lion-tailed macaques, northern pig-tailed macaques, langurs, and Hoolock gibbons that resemble northern white-cheeked gibbons) rather than all being the same species of monkey. They again kidnap Mowgli and present him to their leader King Louie, who is a Gigantopithecus in this version, in order to learn the secret of the "red flower." As in the 1994 film, they do not speak. Their vocal effects were created by using sounds of chimpanzees and gibbons in addition to uncredited voice actors. When King Louie gets buried beneath the rubble of his lair, the Bandar-log work to dig him out. The Bandar-Log are also seen in Mowgli: Legend of the Jungle. Like in the anime, they are in league with Shere Khan. The Bandar-log kidnap Mowgli following his hunting exercise on Tabaqui's command so Shere Khan could kill him, but are thwarted by Bagheera, Baloo, and Kaa. Charles Koechlin wrote a symphonic poem Les Bandar-Log (1939-40), part of a Jungle Book Cycle.
