Modern Mowgli

A. When Rudyard Kipling created the character of Mowgli, an or-phaned boy who was adopted and raised by wolves in the forests of India, he would have never guessed that one day there would be a child that would actually live a similar life. Meet Tippi Benjamine Okanti Degre, a French girl who spent the first ten years of her life in the jun-gle. In her case, fortunately, it involved only the fun adventures and none of the hardship that Kipling’s young character faced.

B. Born in Windhoek, Namibia, in 1990 to Sylvie Robert and Alain Degre, both wildlife photographers, Tippi was exposed to the wild res-idents of the African jungles since the day she was born. Her parents travelled extensively through the country in search of exotic animals and the trio often ended up sleeping in a tent in the middle of the jun-gle. It was therefore no wonder, that the little girl had very little fear of animals.

C. However, unlike Mowgli, Tippi always had her parents around to protect her and the only wild animals that she interacted with were the orphaned animals that had been raised by humans in national parks. These animals were still wild and little Tippi did have a few close en-counters. Once an ape tried to steal her milk bottle, another time a small animal thought her nose looked good enough to eat and took a couple of nips. The most serious one that her mum can recall is when Cindy a baboon became a little jealous of Tippi’s thick hair and de-cided to pull out a handful.

D. The young girl who many locals believed had a special connection with animals, led a rather magical life. She spent her days riding on os-triches, hanging out with (tamed) leopards and making friends with the mighty elephants. In fact, her best pal happened to be Abu, an enor-mous African elephant. Not only that, she also got to meet and spend time with many of the local bushmen who adored the free-spirited girl.

E. While her magical life ended when she turned ten and her parents decided to move back to Paris, her memories remain with her and a few months ago were chronicled in a book called “Tippi, My Book of Africa”. The book not surprisingly has become a huge hit amongst an-imal fans. We wonder if the now 23-year-old girl who is studying cin-ema in Paris, will some day decide to follow her parents’ example and take her kids back to experience that she did.
