An Elephant For A Best Friend

When Tippi was just around 18 months old, she met the elephant named Abu. Sylvie described how Tippi did not see the elephant’s size and run in fear. She just looked into his eyes and spoke to him, like he was her old friend. According to her mother, the original meeting was “incredible”, and so was the bond that the two quickly made.

Tippi told Telegraph that she was best friends with a leopard that was named J&B. A local farmer adopted the leopard since its mother died in a trap. While the animal was really calm with Tippi, it never really lost its killer instincts and once attacked another child. According to Tippi, she told it to stop and the animal did and then ran away.
