Tippi Benjamine Okanti Degré, daughter of French wildlife photographers Alain Degré and Sylvie Robert, was born in Namibia. During her childhood she befriended many wild animals, including a 28-year old elephant called Abu and a leopard nicknamed J&B. She was embraced by the Bushmen and the Himba tribespeople of the Kalahari, who taught her how to survive on roots and berries, as well as how to speak their language.

3 days ago#that time in Doomsday when Jackie says there was never anyone else #and the Doctor looks down and then to the right #remembering how Rose tastes #then remembering how she feels writhing on the bed as he tries in vain to still her hips with his manly forearm resting on her belly #but no emotional memory #that shit’s too repressed
#he can’t help it #he’s so used to loss that he puts memories in these sort of little boxes where they can be filed away out of sight #and it’s useful but what it leaves him with are sensory memories that give him vague twinges of feeling #the little sigh rose gives when she settles onto him #the feel of her skin when she’s fresh out of the shower and still a little slick—all covered in droplets #the way her mouth falls open and her eyes flutter shut when he finds the right angle inside of her #and he is usually very good at knowing how to look at these memories objectively #and enjoy them for what they are without feeling them too much #but her smile sets his blood turning to champagne #all light and bubbling #and the very thought of her tugs at his hearts #so it’s all the more important to keep her safe #his rose—safe and happy #because if he ever had to close those boxes #to put her memory away #he’s got the horrible feeling he wouldn’t know how (tags via neverwhyonlywho)

6 days agoEach morning, like clockwork, they board the subway, off to begin their daily routine amidst the hustle and bustle of the city.
But these aren’t just any daily commuters. These are stray dogs who live in the outskirts of Moscow Russia and commute on the underground trains to and from the city centre in search of food scraps.
Then after a hard day scavenging and begging on the streets, they hop back on the train and return to the suburbs where they spend the night.
Experts studying the dogs, who usually choose the quietest carriages at the front and back of the train, say they even work together to make sure they get off at the right stop – after learning to judge the length of time they need to spend on the train.
Scientists believe this phenomenon began after the Soviet Union collapsed in the 1990s, and Russia’s new capitalists moved industrial complexes from the city centre to the suburbs.
Dr Andrei Poiarkov, of the Moscow Ecology and Evolution Institute, said: “These complexes were used by homeless dogs as shelters, so the dogs had to move together with their houses. Because the best scavenging for food is in the city centre, the dogs had to learn how to travel on the subway – to get to the centre in the morning, then back home in the evening, just like people.”
Dr Poiarkov told how the dogs like to play during their daily commute. He said: “They jump on the train seconds before the doors shut, risking their tails getting jammed. They do it for fun. And sometimes they fall asleep and get off at the wrong stop.”
The dogs have also amazingly learned to use traffic lights to cross the road safely, said Dr Poiarkov. And they use cunning tactics to obtain tasty morsels of shawarma, a kebab-like snack popular in Moscow.
With children the dogs “play cute” by putting their heads on youngsters’ knees and staring pleadingly into their eyes to win sympathy – and scraps.
Dr Poiarkov added: “Dogs are surprisingly good psychologists.”
