What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The concept of animals hunting for food is present as it is central to their nocturnal behavior. This is handled in a very direct, scientific, and non-graphic manner. The focus is on the adaptation (e.g., sharp hearing for finding mice), not the act of predation itself. The approach is entirely secular.
