Trips Back
It was originally hard for Tippi, but she eventually adjusted to life outside the wild. However, she has since gone back a few times, the first being the time she filmed the Discovery Channel documentaries. On that trip, she also reconnected with the tribespeople. You can learn more about her in various interviews and her own book, “Tippi: My Book of Africa.”

Other Children Who Grew Up With Animals
Several other cases have been reported about animals raising a child. For example, Marina Chapman, who is believed to have been kidnapped and abandoned. For five years, she lived with capuchin monkeys, which taught her how to catch rabbits and birds with her bare hands. Another example is a young Chilean boy who was found living with a pack of dogs in 2001. He had been with the animals for two years and officials report that the dogs protected the boy and helped him find food.
