[Jungle Book] Why does everybody tolerate Shere Khan's existence?

He's an evil dick, who kills for fun.  *Everybody* hates him.  And yet, an entire wolf pack won't try to kill him?  He's an ambush predator, and just by watching him fight you can see that he *sucks* at open combat.  An entire pack of wolves should have **no** problem taking him out.  Hell, they could even team up with some ~~of nature's Abrams Tanks~~ rhinos, who I'm *sure* would be perfectly cool with helping take down the jungle's biggest dick head.

I don't think it's a question about "tolerating" so much as "not wanting to die." Shere Khan, as you state in your question, is "an evil dick, who kills for fun." He's a strong, powerful, deadly killer with a trail of bodies behind him. Sure, a wolfpack could try to attack him, but tigers are a few times the size of a wolf and will definitely take a few wolves with him. For the wolves, it's not worth the risk to try to take them out. Besides, as a pack, if they lose a few key members, they lose a ton of hunting capacity, which means the rest of the pack might starve. If they lose some wolves and *don't* kill Shere Khan, they're easy pickings.

As for rhinos, they're big and resilient, but Shere Khan is too agile for them. Rhinos are strong defenders; thick hides and big horns are great deterrents, but they don't make it easy to kill a tiger. A rhino is more likely to disrupt a wolfpack's organization than to contribute to killing a tiger.

What it boils down to is that Shere Khan is strong enough (or at least, *projects* strength enough) that the animals don't think it's worth it to try to kill him. Shere Khan will kill them back, and these animals don't want to be heroes. As long as Shere Khan is targeting mostly not-wolves, the wolves are going to see the risk as not worth the attempt. Same for all the animals.
