Downtime With The Gang
It seems Tippi was a fully integrated member of the elephant herd. Not only did they carry her around, but they took it for granted that she would join them during a bath or cooling downtime in the local water hole. Even Tippi’s excited shrieks and splashing in the water did not bother the herd. Mutual trust is so apparent in this photo. How a creature so small and noisy was taken in by the huge and mostly silent herd is difficult to explain.

From her dress style to her choice of friends, Tippi was very different from other children her age. Dresses were not a part of her wardrobe. She wore animal pelts and loincloths. Instead of carrying a pretty purse, she had a carry bag made from tree bark. Instead of a teddy bear to snuggle with at night, Terri had live lion cubs. As you can see from this photo, she was more than happy with this lifestyle.
