Known to be one of the animal kingdom’s most intelligent animals, monkeys have many similarities to present day humans. You can see here the bond and deep understanding between Tippi and the animal.

Learning From Turtles
Tippi was home-schooled through her early years. Her parents did not only use their knowledge but also the wild environment in teaching their daughter everything she needed to know. Her parents must have incorporated the behavior of animals in different lessons. Turtles can teach us great lessons like patience and determination to reach your goals.
