Mother Wolf is feeding her cubs when she and Father Wolf hear the tiger Shere Khan attacking some humans. Father Wolf goes to investigate and hears something approaching through the undergrowth. He prepares to spring at the intruder, but as he does so he sees that it is a naked baby boy, or as he calls it, a man's cub. Mother Wolf is curious to see what a man's cub looks like, so Father Wolf picks up the baby and carries him inside. After a moment the hungry baby pushes aside one of Mother Wolf's cubs and begins suckling from her. Mother Wolf is so impressed by the "man-cub's" boldness that she decides to adopt him. Because his body is as hairless as a frog's she calls him "Mowgli", which means "frog" in the wolves' tongue. In order to be accepted by the wolf pack all new cubs must be shown to the pack's leader Akela at the Council Rock and spoken for by two wolves who are not its parents. When Mother and Father Wolf show Mowgli, none of the wolves will speak for him, but Baloo the bear who tutors the wolves does so, and Bagheera the panther, who is a guest at the pack council but not entitled to speak for the man-cub, offers to buy Mowgli's life with a freshly-killed bull. Shere Khan arrives, claiming that the man-cub is his prey, but the pack accepts Bagheera's offer and sends Shere Khan away. And so Mowgli grows up with the wolves and is tutored by Baloo and Bagheera, while Shere Khan bides his time, waiting for an opportunity to kill the man-cub....

In the book, he ran away and wandered to the jungle.

In the Disney movie, he and his parents were on a boat in the river. His parents drowned, and he in the basket confusingly got on the land.

I don't understand The Disney movie way, but the book way made much move sense.
