what it is.
The show.
A documentary-style nature series from the Animal Planet network featuring footage of animals in the wild and in various habitats around the world. Not specifically produced for preschool audiences.
our take
“Real nature footage can be wonderful for young children, but Animal Planet content is designed for a general audience and frequently includes predator-prey dynamics, dramatic narration, and fast editing that are not appropriate for preschool viewing. It scores poorly on attention quality, developmental appropriateness, and language development for young children.”
