Your Worst Animal Nightmares (Animal Planet)

The show is pretty violent, with frequent scenes of people being chased, attacked, bitten, and/or eaten alive. Victims (many of whom are the actual attack survivors) are shown screaming in fear and pain, throwing up, and having other panicked reactions. Some of these moments are replayed several times in a single segment in order to make the story even more shocking.

The animals aren't blamed for their behavior, but younger and/or sensitive viewers may find the sensational way that the stories are told to be too scary and/or overwhelming to appreciate the scientific information and animal trivia that accompany the reenactments. As a result, the show misses the mark as an educational tool even as it sends a frightening warning about what can happen when humans violate an animal's space.
