Natacha is the leader of the Original Jungle Bunch called The Champs and the adopted mother of Maurice and the adopted Grandmother of Junior.
Appearance[]
Natacha has a red and white coat with black stripes. During the activities of The Champs, Natacha wears a mask, which, in principle, is the dress code of this team.
Natacha loves her son Maurice very much, preferring to call him “kitten”, but he, in turn, is embarrassed to hear this.
Bio[]
The Jungle Bunch: The Movie[]
Natacha appears at the beginning of the cartoon during a hand-drawn insert (in this cartoon there is no mention that the name). Natacha raises Maurice, teaches him to hunt and gives him the brindle coloring, painting him with yellow stripes.
The Jungle Bunch (film)[]
Natacha has always been involved in the activities of The Champs. Soon, The Champs managed to catch their enemy of koala Igor. Natacha brings Igor to a desert island, but he tells her that he expected such a situation and managed to cover the entire jungle with exploding mushrooms. Natacha hurried to save the jungle inhabitants.
Natacha realizes that the activities of The Champs led to the death of one of their members, Ricky, and disbands the team. A little penguin hatched from the egg that Ricky saved, and Natasha decided to name him Maurice and began to raise him as her son.
Soon Maurice decided to follow in his mother’s footsteps and create his own rescue team. Natacha did not want Maurice to repeat her case, but despite this, Maurice says goodbye to her and hits the road.
After some time, Maurice, along with his team, comes to Natacha, as she is in danger from Igor. Natacha tells her son about Igor and decides to revive The Champs, trying to keep the Jungle Bunch out of her actions.
Arriving at the club, Natacha and Tony persuaded the bouncer not to let the Jungle Bunch. Entering there, Natacha meets Goliath and teams up with him to defeat Igor.
The next day, Natacha, along with Tony and Goliath, decided to stop Igor. But due to Maurice's intervention, Igor managed to escape and took Junior as a hostage. Natacha shows her son what his intervention led to, and the upset Maurice separates from everyone and leaves in an unknown direction.
Natacha, Goliath and Tony reached Igor's lair, but fell into a trap. Finding himself captive, Natacha's grandson manages to escape.
Later, the Jungle Bunch infiltrates Igor's lair and frees The Champs before engaging the baboons in battle. When Igor sets fire to the mushrooms, the Guardians began to evacuate the residents. The Jungle Bunch managed to stop Igor's plans to blow up the jungle. Having defeated Igor himself, the Guardians decided to finally end their activities by transferring it all to the Jungle Squad.
