Tippi Degre became famous after her parents, two French photographers, revealed the story of her childhood surrounded by wild animals, in Africa. She is now considered a real-life Mowgli

Tippi Degre is a 23 years old French girl who had a very unique childhood. She was born in Africa and lived in the wild until the age of ten, when she went back to France. She was a girl who we can call the real-life Mowgli character in 'Jungle Book'. She had believed that all the animals were her size and her friends. Almost all of the animals were her friends, including elephants, cheetahs, giant bullfrogs, ostriches, snakes, zebras, mongoose, lion cubs and crocodiles. She was a close friend with them; even the ostrich wouldn't move at all when Tippi was sitting on her, afraid that she would make the child fall. She also grew up among the native tribe of Namibia. She was taken under their wings and taught her all sorts of survival techniques of wildlife. She could speak their language and could live like them. By looking at this article, I can see how the wild animals can be beautiful creatures to humans. Animals that are noted to be a harm to people can interact with people too. People should stop killing animals in Africa just because they are dangerous or because they can be sold in high price. I’ve always wanted to live with wild animals because I also believe that all animals can be well interacted with humans just like Tippi Degre. I’ve always wanted to prove to people who are scared of animals that the animals can be your best friends. But because Tippi Degre already proved it to some people, I should start telling people near me how animals are friendly.
Heart-warming pictures of the real life Mowgli, a girl who spent the first ten years of her life growing up in the African bush, have been released for the first time.
Our planet is covered in pockmarks so deep that they can be seen from space. Some were caused by asteroid strikes, but most are the result of human meddling. Here are some of the most incredible examples of the scarred Earth.

3. FikaActually this is not perplexing, but fantastic. Fika is the national religion here. It is just the two syllables of kaffi (an early version of the word for coffee in Swedish) switched around, and it means coffee break, usually along with something sweet. Swedes are 4th in the world for coffee consumption, following Finland (12 kg/person a year?!?!), Norway and Iceland, and my coworkers drink at least 6 cups a day. The coffee break is holy J

Odds and sods of a Canadian-Finn in Finland I always get a kick out of the articles on the BBC that document the “curious” behaviours of folks in the Nordic countries. We sleep our babies outside in sub-zero weather and now – we put our babies to sleep in cardboard boxes. With the headline of the latest article, one might think we’re too poor (or daft) to put our babies to sleep in real cribs: Why Finnish babies sleep in cardboard boxes Yes, the Little Miss is a product of both of these “habits.” When she was small she slept in a cardboard box propped up on two kitchen chairs lashed together at the end of our bed. When I was pregnant I opted for the box provided by KELA, the Social Insurance Institution in Finland. My mother was mortified when I said that the “bug” would sleep in a box for a few weeks until we could figure out what he/she was like. Then when my mother saw the box and how we used it, she understood. When the Little Miss was too big to sleep in the box we moved her to a crib. In any case – here is a photo – the Little Miss was getting too big to sleep in the box by this time, but you get the idea.
