Common Sense Note

Parents need to know that this flat-out gorgeous high-definition nature series uses cutting-edge film equipment to capture never-before-seen animal behavior from around the world. Viewers' respect for nature and wildlife will grow with every scene -- with the impulse to protect the world's delicate balance likely to follow.

But for families with kids old enough to understand basic animal behavior, the series will entertain and educate in a whole new way.
