Filmed on real India Jungles, with Tigers & Leopards. I just loved, when I saw this series I was like 10 years old. Already have this love for nature, and this show was apart from all other outdoor series faked in studios. If you ever go to India, you will find that many men walk on the street taking by the hand. This will sound, on a macho view, very Gay but it is quite normal. In India it is normal to express friendship even among males. So this special relationship between this two kids may fit in place, even so I agree that gay people will love it. As a kid I have no memories of thinking this boys were strange, they were alone in the Jungle, one was fugitive, the other was searching his father, and they're only ally was Maya, the brave female elephant. Lately I have read about Jim Corbett, one of the first world conservationists to fight for Nature & Tigers (even so, he used to be a hunter), the fascinating world of Indian Jungles that I read on Corbett life, is just there in the Maya series. I will love to see this adventure series again, memories of a fierce mystery world that is almost gone for ever.
