Mostly Tame
Despite her ability to connect, most of Tippi’s encounters with the most dangerous animals were allowed because many of them were tame. Sylvie explains: “In the arid or semi-desert regions of Southern Africa people have farms of 10,000 to 20,000 hectares. The farmers often keep orphan animals and raise them in their house. Sometimes they are tame or used to humans and so this is how Tippi was able to be so close with them.”
