While we were growing up listening to the stories of Mowgli and being fascinated by his unusual bond with wild animals, far, far away in the wilderness of Africa, a girl named Tippi was living the dream, riding majestic elephants and cuddling with lion cubs. Born in Namibia in 1990 to a French couple who were wildlife photographers, Tippi Degré spent an incredible childhood, up till she turned 10-years-old in the magnificent wildlife of Africa. Here are some fascinating pictures of Tippi cuddling and caressing untamed animals.
