Super/Natural
What's the Story?
SUPER/NATURAL takes viewers deep inside the natural habitats of animals from around the globe. Cameras climb to the top of the Italian Alps, explore the Costa Rican jungle, plunge into the Iceland Sea, and traipse across the Serengeti -- just to name a few habitats. Viewers are offered a glimpse into "a world of extraordinary animals with hidden powers and super senses."
The series highlights rivals, such as drongos and meerkats; great migrators, such as whales; and unexpected allies such as cocktail ants and trees. Audiences learn about animal behavior, such as diet, habitat, mating practices, family structures, and much more. Every day brings new threats, and victories in the animal kingdom.
Is It Any Good?
This series provides a unique and dynamic view into wildlife. Super/Natural's tagline is,"if you think you know nature, think again" and it lives up to its promise. The show provides a wealth of knowledge to viewers in a way that is developmentally appropriate for younger viewers. The narration brings engaging qualities to the animals in the series follows, and the footage is eye-catching.
