Sloth Bear (Melursus ursinus)
The Sloth Bear is most assuredly the bear that inspired Kipling's Baloo, yet he is not accurately depicted as such in any of the Jungle Book's screen adaptations (at least not that I know of). A shame, since that fur and those ears would make for quite a character.

Cape Cobra (Naja nivea)
My favorite of the true cobra species. Highly venomous and adaptable, and also coming in a variety of different colorations, my favorite of which is the smooth, bright yellow.
