Parents need to know
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?

Is it any good?
Planet Carnivore chronicles the harsh reality of nature and offers a dramatic look at what it takes to survive in the wild. But as educational as the series is, the relatively high level of gore (for a nature program, that is) means that parents may want to be cautious about sharing it with sensitive kids.
