Well, It's a great show, an' I watch it a lot, but it's not that good for kids under 7. There are a lot of hunting and killing scenes which may scare really young kids, like three or five year-olds. It's really good, but still can't measure up to shows like Meerkat Manor or the new show Lemur Kingdom, wich is almost(I SAID ALMOST!!!) as good as Meerkat Manor, and WAAAAAAAAY better than Orangutan Island.
