The real-life Mowgli

Magical pictures show the life of Tippi Degre, who spent her first ten years travelling Africa
The images, taken by parents Sylive Robert and Alan Degre, have been released in a book
She was pictured with leopards, cheetahs and elephants, and has been branded the real-life Mowgli
Sitting next to an adult leopard, Tippi Degre looks completely at ease.
While most parents would not let their children anywhere near the big cat, Tippi's was a particularly unusual childhood.
The daughter of French photographers Sylvie Robert and Alan Degre, she spent her first ten years travelling around Africa, and her parents chronicled her experiences.
Branded the real life Mowgli, after Rudyard Kipling's hero in The Jungle Book, a book has been re-released giving a glimpse of her extraordinary first decade.
Now an adult, the book, Tippi: My Book of Africa, shows her making friends with an elephant, who she brands her brother.
What a fantastic life this child has already had
