Tippi was amongst numerous animals, but she was only ever bitten once. Her middle name is Okanti, meaning mongoose or meerkat. Ironically, a Meerkat was responsible for the first bite she ever got and it was on the nose. However, an incident involving Cindy the baboon aslo happened, with Tippi getting attacked and a handful of her hair pulled out. Sylvie believes it was an act of jealousy.
