Shere Khan /ˈʃɪər ˈkɑːn/ (Hindi: शेर ख़ान; Urdu: شیر خان) is a fictional Bengal tiger and the main antagonist of Rudyard Kipling's Jungle Book and its adaptations.[1] According to The Kipling Society, the word shere (or "shir") translates as "tiger", and khan is a title of distinction, used together "to show that he is chief among tigers."[2] Other sources indicate Shere may mean "tiger" or "lion" in Azerbaijani, Persian, Kurdish, Hindi-Urdu, and Punjabi, and that khan translates as "king", or "leader", in a number of languages influenced by the Mongols, including Pashto and Hindi-Urdu.
