Do you remember who your first celebrity crush was? Not now, back when you were young and starry-eyed. Who was it? Why did you have a crush on him or her? Tell us more in the comments!
Yes, of course I remember my first celebrity crush! I had a few celebrity crushes. Do I have to pick just one? No, I don't remember who my first celebrity crush was. Hmm... I never really had celebrity crushes, so I never had a first one! Other
Tippi is a tiny blonde girl who lives in Africa. She has a brother by the name of Abu who weighs five tons, and her cats are huge and much stronger than her daddy. This may sound like surrealistic fiction, but it is the true story of Tippi, daughter of two French filmmakers and wildlife photographers, working in southern Africa. Their life in the bush, dunes and swamps, and about Tippi's endearing kinship with wild animals, particularly Abu, a five-ton elephant...
I dont know but do you guys really think thats possible. These are really wild, infact wildest of the wild animals..haha..she is either very brave or totally innocent and her parents are stupid to have put her into this. The one with the snake, crock, and elephant is so freaky.
I think I call all her pictures Love, the hugs and the animals. . ah. . . makes me want to marry and have a child and get pets and all around cute things. . .. adorable!
How much longer before Tippi's pictures are posted posthumously? How long before these pictures show up on Kiddie Port sites? This is kinda disturbing on a LOT of levels.
This is NOT Tippi Hedren, the actress and mother of Melanie Griffith. Her parents were not photographers and Animal Planet was not in existence while she was growing up in the 1930's.
I believed it until I saw the Crock picture, that must be photoshopped. Not even possible unless the Crock was dead. Crocks can never be friendly creatures, just no possible.
maggie45: This is NOT Tippi Hedren, the actress and mother of Melanie Griffith. Her parents were not photographers and Animal Planet was not in existence while she was growing up in the 1930's.
You are correct. She is Tippi Degré. She was named after Tippi Hedren, but is not related to her in any way.
Here's a video of Tippi making friends with Cheetah:
If standing on the croc is "cute" to you then you have never seen anybody hurt by one while it happens, I assume. I have had and there is nothing cute about taking a chance with one of them for a sake of a "cute" photo opportunity.
all of you people saying "this should be illegal" & "crocs can't possibly be friendly creatures" are unbelievably ignorant. These pictures display the most beautiful thing that existence has to offer: peace, love and an equal respect for all creatures. It's sad that only the innocent seem to understand that concept, while the "informed" complain and somehow find something wrong with it. Your negativity is destroying your soul.
preterane su fotke! mala je jako slatka i bilo da su dresirane zivotinje ili stvarno iz divljine,to je dozivljaj koji treba doziveti-sem one sa zmijom )
photos r great! lil girl is so cute & it doesnt metter if the animals r trained or wild,that is some experience which must be lived-expect one with snake ) anX
they feed the animals first. still, seems like they are pimping their kid. how, exactly, are they making on her? are these images sold? likely they are. and that means it is a tawdry routine. they are combining nature, suggestive poses, a little kid pornography. c'mon, naked girl with a snake between her legs? just like everyone else, these people make their karma.
People are saying they think letting your kid have a beautiful, meaningful life-altering experience like Tippi's should be illegal.
I say... letting your kid grow up in suburbia with no appreciation for the world they live in, no appreciation for the luxuries they are given, and pressuring them into a life where they best that can do is be a cubicle jockey... THAT my friends, should be illegal.
Step out of the artificial life you are living for just once, and you will understand.
Either the crocodile picture is a fake or her guardian(s) are guilty of criminal child endangerment. Probably the former. The idea that creating a situation in which the violent death of a child is the predictable natural result should be illegal is not contrary to the natural order or to the beauty of innocence -- it is part of the natural order, and designed to protect the beauty of innocence.
The crocodile photo casts doubt on the whole series.
Yeah, you're totally right m0sh, I love the way she and that dude are making 'peace' with some friendly creature with a bow and arrow. So either the pics are totally posed, or she's learning a healthy knowledge of the value of all animals and their respective flesh.
I think she is going to be the happiest person in the whole world. I grew up very differently, but it doesn't mean that I should only endorse the way I have lived. She will be the judge of her parents, and from what I see, she is going to give them 100 percent approval for the way they brought her up.
You do understand that you are posting "Step out of the artificial life you are living for just once, and you will understand." on the Internet, right?

wow im stunned by your blind ignorance. Crocodiles have a brain the size of a pea, and even he croc hunter steve erwin never made friends with a crocodile EVER .. He had respect for their natueal charactasr which is to rip flesh apart. Are you honestly so fucking stupid you think it's possible for a crocodile to be tame? Or a chkild to stand on one? Please die in a fire moron.
I think he's talking about the child being undressed. Under laws in some countries this now qualifies as child pornography.
People in such countries should probably talk to Amazon for listing Tippi's book or Animal Planet for having made a documentary of her... after all, these pictures are obviously from published material that is or has been publicly available.
Afaik, Tippi is 17 years old these days and working to conserve the wild life in Africa. I feel people should focus on ways to support her rather than accuse her parents of having taken photos of her with wild animals. No wonder she didn't fit in the urban life and returned to Africa. It's great that someone cares and is trying to safe the planet.

You are an ignorant ass, you think you know so much? I have personally owned a 21 foot snake that was one of the most affectionate animals I have ever known, and I have known a lot of animals. I went to college for exotic animal training and management, you sit in your chair in your city and think you are an expert because you watch croc hunter religiously? You should keep your inexperience pie hole shut... you obviously have no right to comment on such things.
And to the rest of you clamoring about child pornography...have you ever said such a thing about a picture of African villagers? It's only pornographic because she is white. You should all make a concerted effort to really think before you communicate, stop wasting peoples time with your ignorant spouting. You shame humanity as a race.
Peculiar, I thought child pornography was if it were EXPLICIT content and done in a sexual manner. And this, in that sense, isn't. Besides, it's so cute that she lives this life.
Tippi is a wonderful, whole hearted, and well-rounded character. I personally wish my future kids had such a wonderful experience and contribute to the betterment of this world. I am very sure that her parents knew what they were doing with the wildlife posed for photography with Tippi. For these focused on child pornography and child endangerment, kindly remove your bias and appreciate the beauty of nature and how our children should be more in touch with nature.
For these wondering, I am an environmental Sciences and Biology teacher and strongly endorse wonderful photos like that. It makes me sad when a kid says, oh I saw something with a long neck in the zoo, and is unable to spell GIRAFFE. Most of our kids now know more about MTV than about our nature which is in a great danger. So rather than blowing steam about pornography and endangerment, perhaps it is time to sponsor environmental causes and organizations. Let's pick our battles wisely, for if we continue to battle, we will never get anything done. It takes only one person to make a difference, for domino effect is truly happening.
Just shows how ignorant lots of you are..... First off, the bushman in Namibia are totaly living off the land and hunting is their main way to get food..... For your interest, they will chase an ostrich by foot untill the ostrich falls down tired and is easy to kill.... These guys run for up to 3 days non stop..... The reason Tippi is dressed or not dressed the way she is, is because she lived very much with the bush people who also dress the same way. As far as animals are concerned, she is similar to Steve Irwin in that they can get very close to the animals without being a threat..... You say that crocs are dangerous and can never be tamed? well watch Steve Irwin swimming with the crocks while having 1 hand on the crocs back, well how did he do it? If you live in Africa as I have for over 30 years now, then you will know that it can be done, and safely if done at the right times. Yes there is always a certain amount of danger with any animal this includes your cat or dog, but all animals are tameable to a certain extent.... Last year October I took a picture of a croc from 5 feet away without it even blinking an eyelid, It was at its best which is in the shallows of the water. I have been so close to other animals that I have been able to stroke them, I still have my fingers.....
Lets give Tippi a break, and love her for who she is and what she does.
And um, hi folks, those of you who are freaking out about her not having a top on - do any of you have daughters? little kids like to run around without clothes on. very young girls aren't always fond of shirts. and as peter said - she is living the way her neighbors do. The pictures are not presented in a sexual manner, her parents (THE PHOTOGRAPHERS) obviously don't intend to present it sexually even if your twisted minds are interpreting it that way. Give her a break.
Beautiful photos. What a beautiful perception of life this girl has formed in herself: so innocent and good. May the Lord continue protecting her and her family. What a wonderful creation God has made!
Some dudes here seem to be seriously misinformed... Crocs can be tamed. Haven't you ever seen a croc show in Thailand etc? Those ones never crushed their tamer's head even when it came into their mouths. Standing on a WILD croc is still freaken dangerous, though.... E
The croc picture maybe fake. I dont know how Tippi went on that croc without dirty herself. Then I'm amazed by her hair cut. I know all these pictures pretty well but not this one. I know almost everything is possible with her but I question myself. How she climbed that rock to go on that croc without Did She jump on him from another rock ? Strange.
i hope we all get to see the documentaries long into the future saw one about 9 years ago simply awe inspiring if anyone knows how to gain a copy would be greatly appreciated
I think - everybody is creature of wild nature. We live in human society, she lives between animals and humans. Most of children, whoa lives in villages are not scared of wild animals. They are just part of nature as we are.
