Walk on the wild side after dark isn't for youngest kids.

What parents need to know
Parents need to know that the host of this nature show often puts himself in dangerous situations to get close to the animals he studies, so expect lots of tension -- and some palpable fear -- when things don't go exactly as planned. Kids may be frightened by the frank descriptions and footage of the animals' hunting tactics, and the general content of the show might be enough to induce some new nighttime fears. But for older viewers, the series offers a fascinating glimpse into the nocturnal activities of many seldom-seen species.
Violence:
Animals kill and eat prey, and the host often draws viewers' attention to animal carcasses as evidence that predators lurk nearby. The host gives graphic details about the animals' methods of killing prey (biting the throat to cause strangulation, for example). The show is full of suspenseful moments as he puts himself in harm's way to study the animals in their natural habitats.
