Rogue Nature (Animal Planet, Discovery Channel)
common sense media says
Dangerous encounters too intense for young kids.
parents & educators say
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that this edgy nature series includes graphic photos of injuries from human encounters with wildlife (for example, a woman's scalp ripped from her skull). The host researches animals' typical behavior and seeks out close encounters with potentially dangerous creatures like grizzly bears, crocodiles, and elephants. Survivors of vicious attacks share their tales, and re-enactments capture the terror of the experiences. Because of its violent nature, use caution when sharing this with sensitive tweens and teens.
Violence:
Graphic photos show effects of animal attacks on humans. (In one, a woman's scalp was torn from her skull and her ear was pulled off.) Re-enactments of the attacks include screams and close-up shots of menacing animals, and some show guns being fired (though not at the animals themselves). Animals also kill and devour prey.

Enjoyed the Show
Tonight I watched the show for the first time, with all three of my children. I live in Southcentral Alaska and bears are a reality for all that live here. I educate my children and this show helped to send that message home to them that while these animals are beautiful beyond compare they can and will be dangerous.
I would have liked to have seen though with one exception that it would have been added into your show that Timothy Treadwell was killed in October a time that he was normally out of Katmai. That decision proved to be a fatal one for him, this would have shown that he made an error in judgement, which that is what happens when one is attacked by a bear. This was not to take away from some of the tremendous work that he did.
I must say keep up the great work at educating those who come to visit and live in this great state!!

Great for teenagers!!
i think that this show should be on
animal planet everyday. All of those dog grooming shows and animal police shows are a waste of time. Rogue Nature #1!!
