common sense media says
Man's perilous life with lions raises issue of conservation.
parents & educators say
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that the host of this nature series often talks about the real-life dangers -- including dismemberment and death -- that he faces while trying to save the group of lions he tracks, as well as the death sentence the animals face if they can’t change their behavior. Add to this many scenes of animals killing and eating their prey, some occasional salty language (mostly "ass"), and a few glimpses of a man’s naked backside, and it's clear that this isn't meant for the youngest viewers. That said, tweens and teens will be moved by Salmoni’s selfless attempts to help the rogue lions.
Positive role models:
Salmoni relies on his vast knowledge of animal behavior to predict and safely react to the lions’ actions. He’s always respectful of them and is willing to risk his life to preserve their existence.
Violence:
Lions often kill and eat their prey on camera. Many scenes show tense (but mostly distant) interactions between the host and the lions, and he often mentions that he’s putting his life at risk to get close to them. Narration also discusses that the lions face a death sentence if they can’t learn to behave.
Sex:
Salmoni’s full-length naked backside is very occasionally shown as he bathes.
Language:
Multiple uses of "ass" (co-workers call each other "bad ass," for example) per episode, but anything stronger is edited.
Consumerism:
Not applicable.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:
Not applicable.
