MAMMALS is a British wildlife documentary series; in this episode, we learn about the nocturnal lives of animals such as leopards, fennec foxes, shrews, armadillos and hyenas.
violence
Visually discreet black-and-white night vision sequences show a leopard successfully hunting a baboon and a group of hyenas bringing down a buffalo. The killing of the baboon is concealed from view, but a brief aftermath shot of the dead animal features sight of dripping blood, which appears white due to the night vision camera.
sex
A pair of armadillos are shown mating.
injury detail
The filmmaking crew is saddened by the discovery of a pair of dead fennec foxes, killed by humans off screen; we see several close-up shots of the animals, but the images are not gory or bloody. A coyote tears apart and eats a dead rabbit, and lions are shown eating another dead animal, all without visible bloody detail.
additional issues
There is an undetailed depiction of an asteroid colliding with Earth 66 million years ago, creating a vast explosion.

MAMMALS is a British wildlife documentary series; in this episode, we learn how animals like sea lions, otters, wolves and elephants have adapted to sharing their habitats with human beings.
violence
We occasionally see animals hunting and killing their prey, although these sequences are visually discreet and devoid of bloody detail. Monkeys are shown catching and eating rats, and a distant shot shows cheetahs bringing down an antelope. We also see a fight between a pair of hippopotamuses and another between a pair of bison, but the animals are not visibly hurt.
threat and horror
There are occasional references to the negative effects of human encroachment on animal habitats, including undetailed references to deaths of whales and cheetah cubs; however, the overall tone is positive and uplifting. A pack of dogs bark and bite at a group of sea lions, driving them into the sea without inflicting visible injuries. An otter is separated from its family while crossing a busy road but finds them again the next day.
injury detail
There is brief sight of partially eaten animals.

MAMMALS is a British wildlife documentary series; this episode examines mammal life in aquatic habitats from freshwater pools to the open ocean.
violence
Two scenes show orca pods separating whale calves from their mothers and killing them; though the footage is mostly visually discreet, several shots show blood spreading into the water around one of the calves. In another scene a sea lion pup is chased by a shark but is eventually rescued by an adult sea lion.
threat and horror
Scenes show young animals being hunted, and in some cases killed, by predators. Another scene features brief references to whales suffering and dying after becoming tangled in discarded fishing nets.
language
Very mild bad language includes ‘oh my God’ and ‘heck’.
injury detail
There is a brief close up image of a bloodless bite wound on a sea lion’s back. A coyote feeds on a whale carcass, without gory detail. We also see a fleeting glimpse of bloody water as a whale gives birth.
additional issues
There are very brief and undetailed references to sea lions mating.

MAMMALS is a British wildlife documentary series; in this episode, mammals including bats, baboons, giraffes and jackals survive harsh desert climates.
violence
A jackal kills and consumes a dove, but the visual detail is discreet. Fighting giraffes use their heads to strike each other’s necks, without visible injury.
sex
A brief sequence shows one echidna attempting to mate with another.
injury detail
A member of the filming crew holds up a bloody finger after being injured by a cactus spine. A black-and-white sequence shows a vampire bat biting a chicken’s foot and lapping at a small stream of blood; the chicken experiences no serious ill effects. A minor wound is visible on a crocodile’s neck.
additional issues
Brief footage of a spreading bushfire features no on-screen casualties, and the focus of the sequence is a group of echidnas who are hiding safely underground. Another scene shows an echidna blowing ‘snot bubbles’ to cool down.

MAMMALS is a British wildlife documentary series; in this episode, we discover how mammals have adapted to diverse forest habitats across the globe.
violence
We occasionally see animals hunting and killing their prey, although these sequences are visually discreet and devoid of bloody detail. Chimpanzees are shown chasing, and subsequently eating, a group of monkeys, but the actual killing occurs off screen. There is brief footage of a tiger gripping the neck of a dying deer in its jaws. An interview features undetailed verbal references to a new alpha monkey having killed the previous alpha’s infant offspring.
threat and horror
Suspenseful sequences show howler monkeys crossing potentially deadly power lines. There are also occasional undetailed references to forests and their animal inhabitants coming under threat from deforestation and the effects of climate change.
language
There is infrequent use of very mild bad language (e.g. ‘oh my God’).
injury detail
We see the undetailed dead bodies of monkeys that have been electrocuted by power lines off screen. Some of the bodies have live infants still clinging to them; these infants are then rescued by animal conservationists.
additional issues
There is a brief humorous sequence involving defecating bats.
