[Akaliko]

She can actually communicate with animal friends, and they love to play with her too.

[sergioviana84]

Tippi is fearless. She is my role model,

[1wildcc]

[yankyLOVE22]

[stiggyh]

i love you tippi ;)))

[estrellanocka]

Pretty snake is a Python anchietae :)

[ranel63]

does she even have parents??

[littlemissjaded12345]

Awww! I love meerkats! Looked so cute when it started digging out a hole in the sand with the little girl. :)

[scrubjay93]

@littlemissjaded12345 I believe this is a banded mongoose, but they are related.

[CrazyIcelander8321]

Guys if you need to now tippi means Penis in icelandic

[DjRocHound]

does anyone know the name of the song played at the end?

[thaleis]

She became naturally a little "Mowgli" who looking around for nabimian cultural rules and became later a member of the bush men...

This video come from "Tippi of Africa" made by her parents who wants share it with public look when she was around 7... It made she a star in France in the early 90.

[littlemissjaded12345]

@thaleis

Yeah.... that's exactly who she reminds me of - that little boy, Mowgli from the film, The jungle Book. It's a very nice video. I'm quite surprised though.

I don't see many people on wildlife programmes on t.v.being able to get as close to these wild animals as she did. That snake for e.g. for all I know, it's a highly venomous one. I'm surprised that it didn't bite her foot and poison her to death!

She seems like one very brave little girl to me. 8)

[thaleis]

Tippi is actually around 14 and lives in Paris.

Her parents (Sylvie and Alain Degree) are French explorer, documentary film makers and animal care counselor for cinema...

They are the world wide first to have discover "suricats" and have traveled a lot throughout African continent (especially Nabimia).

Tippi is born in Wintoek (Nabimian capital) where her parents working in the suricats project...

[themaclover4ever]

@thaleis Lmao she's not 14, she's 20 now.

[MrNepolino]

@themaclover4ever Shes born in 1990 in Windhoek, in Namibia. That means shes 21 now :)

[matosapa13920]

voici mon enfance... merci...

chaman mato sapa

[JuliendAnce]

Quel tissu de conneries....

[shamrock1585]

Elle a de la chance cette gamine.

[Elogirly18]

i used to know her, im not kidding lol, that one time, my parents took us to the restaurant and my sister and her started climbing in the trees it was hilarious, but i was really young i guess.... though i remember haha

[TombstoneRider]

RAPING

[karuspery]

She talks to animals but European animals don't understand her so well.

[oceanbirth]

i never knew there were videos of tippi...i love her!!! i have one of her books :)

[narog84]

TARZAN

[leiefilm]

don't think tarzan grew up to have tits(hope not atleast)

[hoddiglux]

tippi in icelandic means dick

[jovensibonicas]

guau, el libro de la selva

[quantumsolutions]

When I watch her I feel jealous that my kids don't have that (though I'm moving more into that direction so they can reconnect.) Maybe my grandchildren will live like this. God willing.

Anastasia of Ringing Cedars has completely changed my outlook on life. She lives completely connected to nature and is so wise she seems almost superhuman.

Poor Tippi must be going crazy in the city with all the half zombies.

Let's all get back to nature and how wonderful life is supposed to be.

[EmotionalShredd]

agreed. this is such a gift to everybody. nature heals your soul.I fell sad for the next generations wich spend their lives with computer to much.many human lost their natural skills like telepthie etc..and how to survive in nature. The tsunami desaster few years ago just showed us,that people die quickly in natural catastrophes because they don't have respect anymore, they lost their sensitivity towards nature.they don't listen the fine quiet things in nature anymore.don't even recognize it

[Sanfthauch]

@EmotionalShredd Totally agree :) I'm working with animals..that' the best job on earth :)

[putolinefourstroke]

i would laugh if she held an 18ft python :-p

[Expeditielijer]

Damn this is the stuff i like too see!! :) Just amazing!

[terrortimterror]

zieke shit

[TeresaWongyung]

why the wild animals didn't attack Tippi?

did they really know she's just a child and won't hurt them?

kind of mysterious

[BlackVictim]

i think, she grew up with the TRUE nature. that's the life, everyone should live. she understands the animals, and the animals understands her. not like the other humans, which are "hunting, chasing, killing and eating animals" and animals feel if someone loves and cares for them or if he hates and wants to harm them

[funstreet179]

devils are around that her and protect the girl against attacks from animals,nice spell but it is forbidden

[69Dud69]

LOOL

[javeljaveljavel]

ಠ_ಠ

[ImaginationBlue]

I love her voice. Was that a meerkat!!? I love the way they dig together.

[14MILO05]

These videos are awsome!!!!!!! Please, where did you get them??

[Here2QuestionYou]

Who's this tippi? Seems like a very brave little girl.

[PrettyWithPythons]

ALL Pythons are non venomous People!!! They are constrictors.

Tippi is so Cute!!! Once i have kids I cant wait to have them grow up around my snakes. Harm none! Goddess bless!

[panhandleFL]

hey my name is Tippi also! :)

[wyldbros879]

pythons arnt venomous fucktard

[sonsistahuirca]

Es tan bella!! le limpia el camino... :)

[robbie6642]

It is a python, and a small one. Not much to worry about there.

[colacho2012]

?? this is such an stupid comment that i do not even know how to begin telling how stupid it is.

[colacho2012]

that's a reaction to cloudmonkeys' comment

[smallmoe]

i think that's a python she's playing with non-venemous

[panhandleFL]

Tippi is 16 yrs old now. My name is Tippi, as well!

[Elogirly18]

nah actually she's older than my oldest sister wich is 18 so she might be 19

[wackoyackooriginal]

According to Wikipedia she's born on june 4, 1990.

[arabiantxn]

thats just F "ED up -some thing very strange about that girl /or what ever it is -may god protect us

[penguinworm]

There's something fucked up about your comment. Why would you possibly need God to protect you from a child? Didn't he create her?

[da1geezer]

Amazing!! so brave, she is awsome

[tiver62]

I think /..............

[peachie103]

this lil girl need a hairdo

[jadawin10]

Commentaire idiot et inutile

[Monnymoon]

Maybe she was a lucky child in her first ten years, but now she is about seventeen years old and lives in Paris again. She is not able to live her old life anymore and I read that this is not easy for her.

[kvproduction]

Tippi should be about 20 yrs old now. I like her since I read her book some years ago. There won't be another one able to do what she did. She is just lovely as no body be.(Vivian from HongKong)

[MouseOfVirtue]

what is her book? What is her real- full- name?

[jadawin10]

Her real full-name is "Tippi Degré". She's was born and grown in Namibia, from the french animalist photographers, Robert and Sylvie Degré.

[2degucitas]

Tippi, you are one lucky kid. Such a childhood.
