Tippi Degre,The Real Life Mowgli

Her "brother" was an elephant, her best friend a leopard and her playground the African bush. Tippi Degre has been labelled the 'real-life Mowgli'

Now Tippi's new book, 'Tippi: My Book of Africa', showcases the magical images that have led to comparisons with Rudyard Kipling's young hero in The Jungle Book

Born in Windhoek, Namibia in 1990, Tippi Benjamine Okanti Degre lived with her French parents, wildlife photographers Sylvie Robert and Alain Degre. The three of them travelled extensively through Africa on a unique and incredible adventure

She showed an unusual bond between man and beast. Sylvie, Tippi's mother, explains: "She was in the mindset of these animals. She believed the animals were her size and her friends. She was using her imagination to live in these different conditions"

Using her innocence and imagination, the young 'Mowgli' befriended one of the giants of the animal kingdom, Abu the African elephant

"She had no fear," says Sylvie. "She did not realise she was not the same size as Abu the elephant. She would look into its eyes and speak to him"

Collection of Tobacco in Moldova, Europe

Moldova, one of the former Soviet republics and Europe's poorest country, has so far resisted pressure to privatise its tobacco industry. These women work 10 hours a day, 6 days a week, and got paid 1000 lei a month (about $100 a month). (10 hours a day)(6 days a week)(4 weeks a month) = 240 hours/month $100 a month/ 240 hours per month = about $0.42 per hour. Middle aged women that looked much older than their numerical age iat in dirt with tobacco leaves surrounding them. In their left hand they hold what looked look a knitting needle with a heavy string attached. With their right hand they pick up a tobacco leaf and pierce it with the large needle. This mind-numbing action is repeated until the string is covered with tobacco leaves the width of the hut – one strand down and a few more months’ worth of string to go.
