Ms. Adventure (Animal Planet)
common sense media says
Unique show looks at animal (and human) behavior.
parents & educators say
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that this series strays from the basic "observation and explanation" formula typical of many other wildlife series. Hosted by a female comedian who has no animal expertise -- just plenty of curiosity -- the show's focus is on comparing many types of animal behavior to humans', with often-surprising results. The educational potential makes this a great show for families to enjoy together, but scenes of animals eating carcasses or lunging at onlookers might be too much for the littlest viewers. Be prepared to answer kids' questions about what they're seeing, including things like trapping and vaccinating wild animals.
Violence & scariness:
Includes scenes of wild animals being wild. In one scene, a pack of wolves devours a deer carcass. Some animals lunge, stomp, or hiss when they feel threatened.
Sexy stuff:
Talk of animal mating habits often prompts mild innuendoes about the ups and downs of dating. Some episodes highlight animals' various mating rituals.
