Girl Who Grew Up in the African Wild ...
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 spent her whole childhood playing with wild animals including lion cubs,a mongoose, a snake, a cheetah, baby zebra, giraffes and crocodiles.
The little girl saw nothing unusual about her company: I don't have friends here. Because I never see children.
So the animals are my friends, she once said.
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 calledTippi of Africa.
It was magical to be able to be free in this nature with this child. She was a very lucky little girl she was born and raised until the age of 10 totally in the wild." said Sylvie.

See how she appears today.......at the end of the childhood pics

100 year old pictures ...

These were really professional photographers who took these pictures... Note how sharp and clear most of the photos are and these are over a 100 years old.
There aren't many old photos as good, remember they didn't have film or digital photo cards in those days. Most probable is that these were glass plate images and taken thru a pin hole type camera and the opening was timed just right to get a dark enough exposure. Developing was another tedious task which they had to be careful not to break the glass!
