The Jungle Book 2 (2003)
In The Jungle Book 2, he appears when he shifts his interests to Shanti, who is lost in the jungle. First scaring her into looking into his eyes, she is quickly enticed and her eyes begin to mirror his. She starts to smile and drops the torch she is holding. Her mouth hangs open as Kaa brushes back her hair and slides around her neck. He asks if she is lost, he makes her nod, then whether she is hungry, because he is starved. The young girl cannot look away and is guided on to a small rock. As Kaa hangs above her, she shuffles her bare feet around and stands on tiptoe in an effort to get closer to the python's eyes. He attempts to eat her whole. But, as he attempts to swallow her, Ranjan, Mowgli's stepbrother, knocks her out of the trance, causing Kaa to swallow a boulder and getting a severe beating from Ranjan.

Famous quotes containing the words jungle and/or book:
“It’s like a jumble of huts in a jungle somewhere. I don’t understand how you can live there. It’s really, completely dead. Walk along the street, there’s nothing moving. I’ve lived in small Spanish fishing villages which were literally sunny all day long everyday of the week, but they weren’t as boring as Los Angeles.”
—Truman Capote (1924–1984)
“Heav’n from all creatures, hides the book of Fate,
All but the page prescrib’d, their present state:”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
