<P> In Disney 's 1967 animated adaptation of The Jungle Book , Shere Khan 's voice was performed by George Sanders , while his singing voice was provided by Bill Lee . He was designed and animated by animator Milt Kahl . The inhabitants of the jungle fear him greatly ; mere news of his being in the vicinity compels the wolf pack to send Mowgli away . Man 's gun and man 's fire are the only things Shere Khan fears , and for this reason , he feels the urge to kill humans at every possible opportunity . Shere Khan first appears about two - thirds of the way through the film , where he eavesdrops on Bagheera asking Colonel Hathi to help search for a now - lost Mowgli and sets out to find and kill the boy . He later encounters Kaa just as he was going to eat Mowgli , but the snake denies any knowledge of the man - cub . Doubting Kaa 's honesty , Shere Khan threatens Kaa into showing his middle by loosening his coils , inadvertently allowing Mowgli to escape after the tiger resumes his search . </P>
