Not So Wild After All
Tippi’s parents did admit that during the shooting of the documentary, some of the animals depicted were actually already tame and owned by local farmers in the area. In the desert areas in Africa, there are many farms that are huge, up to twenty thousand hectares. The farmers often rescued and tamed orphan animals on these farms. This was how Tippi was able to interact with them so easily without fear of accident or attack.

A Real Adventurer
Fearless as a small child, Tippi never balked at a meeting or making friends with any animal. She interacted with many different animal species. She would always see the good in that animal regardless of its reputation. This picture shows she has no problem hugging this little critter. Tippi was learning about animals in a way that even the most intrepid zoologists could never hope to achieve. The knowledge that she was gaining was beyond anything that academia could ever hope to learn.
