72 Dangerous Animals: Latin America

I've learned a lot about wildlife in other areas of the world. I don't always agree with their rankings, but the rankings aren't the point. The point is just seeing the different wildlife in the area and getting a snippet of that specific animal or insect in under an hour (seems most episodes are in the upper 40 minute range).

Looking at other reviews on this I'd have to say that maybe animal activists shouldn't watch this type of program, or basically any nature documentary on Discovery, Animal Planet, etc., as none of them are really designed to your agenda. I applaud the program for simply telling why people should stay away from dangerous animals. But I would like to point out that there have been several examples in the series where they play advocate to animal rights causes and discuss abuse or endangered aspects of animals. I'd also point out that no one on the series advocates harming any of the animals, even those who have been attacked.

It's a fear mongering show, it lies and deceives with the only goal of making you fear animals (armadillos, iguanas and sloth are in the list, among with many more harmless animals). It should be pulled from streaming services because it's a disgrace for the animals and it's a disgrace for human knowledge.

This show wants to scare and desensitize people to animal abuse by showing edge cases of animal attacks. It's really sad that producers need to make money that way.

Anyone is looking to actually learn ANYTHING about animals should pass on this series. The writing is melodramatic and even the most harmless and offensive of animals are described with adjectives that are better suited to horror movies than documentaries. Oh yes...beware of the viscous ....two toed sloth? Er ya...I'm really concerned about being attacked by a sloth... Get the Frack out of here. The writers of this derives should be ashamed of themselves.

Ther is an incredible amount of misinformation within this series. Most importantly they get the true size of most of the animals wrong. Bushmaster snakes isually reach about 6'-7.5' but they claim almost 13.12' much larger than the world record ever documented.. also during the boa constrictor segment the videos they used included not just boa constrictor imperators but also anacondas, Burmese pythons, dumerils boas, and reticulated pythons.. it seriously shouldnt be that hard to get your facts and images correct in a well funded film.
