An Apt Student
Tippi was walking at ten months old, which meant she was often with the animals and quickly learned not to let the monkeys take her bottle from her. She was running with the troop when most children are still crawling. What was it about the wild that stimulated this unusual child’s development so strongly? Perhaps humans have lost much of their natural growth thanks to urban environments. Either way, Tippi was maturing faster than most.

An Instinct For Potential Threats
The dangers for a child living amongst wild animals is great. Far more so than the usual dangers that toddlers need to be protected from. Instead of learning road safety, Tippi had to watch for any potential threat from an animal. Her parents taught her very early on, what dangers to look out for in the wild to keep safe. She understood how to read an animal’s body language and demeanor. Despite having this endurance, her parents never let her do other dangerous things.
