SHE SLEEPS WITH LIONS: These are photos of a young Tippi Degré. Tippi was born in Namibia in 1990, where her parents, Alain Degré and Sylvie Robert, worked as freelance wildlife photographers. She was named after Tippi Hedren. During her stay in Namibia, she befriended wild animals, including a 28-year old elephant Abu, a leopard nicknamed J&B, crocodiles, lion cubs, giraffes, a Northern Greater Galago, a Banded Mongoose, an Ostrich, meerkats, a baby zebra, a cheetah, a Caracal, a snake, an African Grey Parrot, giant bullfrogs and chameleons. She also befriended the Bushmen and the Himba tribespeople of the Kalahari, who taught her how to survive on roots and berries, and to speak their language. How cool would it be to have a childhood so close to Nature like Tippis? More photos of Tippi and her friends via Inhabitat at goo.gl/72IlVH. Join us at Treeson Spring Water!
