Enjoy!!
The pictures are just gorgeous! Riding a five-ton elephant, whom she called my brother, chilling with a cheetah or hugging a giant bullfrog as if it were a Teddy Bear!
The childhood of a French girl Tippi Degre sounds more like a newer version of Mowgli, rather than something real.
A white child, she was born in Namibia to French wildlife photographer parents, and grew up in Africa.
Tippi is now 23 years old and the only child to wildlife photographer parents, Sylvie Robert and Alain Degre, who published her photos in a book call Tippi of Africa.

Magical childhood! Thanks for sharing this on Sylvia!!! YAM xx
She doesn't look any the worse for her unusual childhood.
Wow! Amazing!
Oh Sylvia, thank you so very much for sharing this. I wonder how Tippi is doing in modern society. How does one build a bridge between totally wild and electronic society?
What a remarkable girl!I never dared to touch an elephant as a child:(
