A jungle girl spent years among predators
While the majority of parents refuse to leave their children next to a large cat for fear of being attacked, the story of the girl Teppi seems a rare and different story that resembles the legends we read in the stories about people who lived among forests and savage animals, Myth.
The daughter of French photographer Sylvie Robert and her husband, Alain Degry, a photographer, spent 10 years of her life wandering around the African bush, while her parents were documenting this sensational experience accurately.
The experience looked like the fictional story of Mawkley, the main character in a book by British author Rudyard Kipling, entitled The Book of the Jungle, in which a baby is lost in a forest in India and raised by a tribe of wolves.
Here Teppi has become a friend of the elephants she is riding with skill, as are the tigers she is never afraid of.
This wonderful experience has been shown in a book that combines the word and the image, to show us a "new maukle", but real and never imaginary for a decade of incredible story.
Here is a tour of a number of pictures showing the girl in many positions between the forest with the ferocious animals and the depositary, and she lives strange and unprecedented experiences with African people and tribes, is wearing their clothes and other pictures taken by her father photographers.
The book was named "Tepe, Africa's Book," and appeared in the cover of the girl next to a jungle animal.
