What Parents Need to Know
About Animal Battlegrounds
Parents need to know that since this nature program focuses on the predator-prey relationship, animals are frequently shown hunting and eating others. Though most of these scenes are blood-free and rather mild, some shots -- such as when a grizzly bear tears through the flesh of a salmon, exposing its flesh -- can be rather gory and may upset very young or sensitive kids.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about violence in nature. Is it disturbing to watch predators hunt and kill their food? Is it more upsetting depending on what kind of animal their prey is (i.e., "cute" prey vs. bugs, fish, etc.)? Do you notice that nature shows sometimes give animals names that make them seem to have human personalities? Does this affect how you feel about them? Why do you think shows do that?
