Mowgli and Kichi meet Rocky the Rhino (by Kaion)

Mowgli and his friend Kichi meet Rocky the Rhino, a character that was originally intended to be in the 1967 movie, but unfortunately, didn't make it into the final film. Rocky was to be introduced during the 3rd act of the film, where he was to be friends with the Vultures. When Mowgli met the Vultures, the Vultures would make Rocky fight Mowgli once the man-cub accidentally woke him up, but Mowgli beat Rocky by making him crash into a rock and break his horn. As Mowgli was about to leave, Rocky and the Vultures would sing That's What Friends are For to him. Rocky would probably then help Mowgli, Baloo, and the Vultures fight Shere Khan.

If there was an alternate universe version of Disney's Jungle Book, I always love imagining what additional characters would be included, like Kichi and Rocky.

Here's a video that explains about Rocky the Rhino.

This piece was drawn by fellow artist Kaion. He's such a talented artist who imitated the traditional Disney style perfectly! I recommend checking him out if you want a Disney style commission!
