Born in Namibia and daughter of photographers Alain Degre and Sylvie Robert, Tippi Degre  is not an ordinary child.

Her mother says, “she is a very lucky girl because she was born and raised in the wild until the age of 10 years. She still spends more time with animals than humans. She really thinks that they are all her friends. She tries to live in this condition “.

The most amazing thing in this friendship between Tippi and animals is probably their behaviour. According to the parents, the animals have never been violent to her. Even the Ostrich does not run when the child was on his back, to prevent her from falling.
