Background[]
Hathi, Jr. is the son of Colonel Hathi and Winifred. He's the only calf in the herd. Despite being the herd's youngest member, he still participates in drills and and inspections, and he has a fairly impressive knowledge of military terminology. In the first film, his name is never mentioned, but his parents refer to him as "Son."
Hathi, Jr. appears to be very friendly, as he becomes friends with Mowgli very quickly. He cares deeply for his friend's safety, such that he is able to convince his father to join in the search for Mowgli. He seems to idolize his father, and desires to become a Colonel just like him. He also appears to have a tendency to be left behind, as Hathi later notes that he has scolded his son several times on staying with the herd.
