Gripping account of life for a lion! I know they use lenses, but this footage is fantastic. How do they capture this stuff? The story sucks you in, the action is incredible. They are not cuddly cats! 8 years and up its fine.

What Parents Need to Know
About Planet Carnivore
Parents need to know that since this series centers on the predatory habits of some of the world's fiercest carnivores -- like the African lioness and the great white shark -- there's a lot of bloodshed. The death scenes may upset young and/or sensitive viewers. Animals are shown stalking, chasing, and killing their prey, and the victims often make anguished sounds as they die. This is definitely a know-your-kids situation -- if they're prepared for the harsh reality of nature, this series offers intriguing insight into animal life in remote areas of the world. But if they tend to sympathize with all creatures great and small, steer them to something less violent.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about how animals are designed for their surroundings. How do animals in different ecosystems adapt to their surroundings? What physical attributes do different species have for survival? How do these defense mechanisms protect them from predators? What dangers do the predators themselves face? How would the ecosystem function if they became extinct? How is this show similar to and different from other nature programs?
