All of the pictures we have seen, show Tippi in very little clothing that suits the environment she grew up in. The heat of Africa’s climate meant she was the most comfortable and cooler in this attire. This was a stark contrast to the Western world, where children running around naked in public would cause a scene and be highly alarming. Having to someday wear jeans and a shirt must have been a huge change for Tippi.

Her Mom was thrilled that Tippi had been given this opportunity but Tippi found it difficult to interact with her old animal friends naturally with a camera focused on them the whole time. She found the documentary filming hard work and combined with the heat, she struggled during this time. After the shooting was completed, she was exhausted and demoralized.
