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.
