Family
The jungle isn't all death, destruction, and disease in The Jungle Book, and animals often stick together. Wolves have their packs, seals have their pods, and mongooses (unofficially) have their troubles, although you don't have to remind Rikki-tikki-tavi of that.
Although most of these families only care about their children until they're old enough to fend for themselves, they play a critical part in raising these kids to survive in the wild. The animals who stick together, survive together.
While our protagonists—Mowgli, Kotick, Toomai—each have a family (or foster family), they all have to go off on their own in order to achieve their goals.
Mowgli and Rikki-tikki have something in common: Neither has a family, but they get taken in by a family of a different species.
