What Parents Need to Know
About Kids.NationalGeographic
Parents need to know that among its educational games, kid-friendly animal information, and great footage, this online component to National Geographic Kids magazine does have some scary videos. One about the cane toad, for example, talked about how the cute amphibian is very poisonous -- so poisonous that if a crocodile eats one, it can die. Another showed a brief moment where a cheetah attacked its prey. Banner ads offer subscriptions to magazines and also feature other organizations, but are clearly marked and unobtrusive. There's also a link to the main National Geographic site and its store.
