Principles
You may have heard someone exclaim, "It's a jungle out there," by which they mean that it's dangerous and chaotic (or they're watching Jumanji). Because of the meaning of this idiom, you might be scared in the jungle—those animals could do anything to you. Well, that's not exactly true. The animals we meet in The Jungle Book often abide by a strict moral code. They have honor to uphold, after all, so you can sleep safely in your tent knowing they'll only devour you if they have a really good reason to!
Baloo is honorable for honor's sake. He has no reason to stand up and care for Mowgli other than the fact that he cares about him.
Kotick might be the only seal with principles. He risks his own life for the lives of the other seals, even though those seals don't care for their own lives.
