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.

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?
