72 Dangerous Animals: Latin America

Really didn't intend on watching 12 episodes of this, but I did. It is quite interesting as, for most of us, we see killers not in our everyday world. I say most because there ia couple that will be fairly close by to those not living in Latin America. Most, however, are indigenous to areas south of the equator..

The program is not what I'd call a documentary series. It is done in a style that is what I call educational entertainment, possibly with a hope that science classes will use it as well. It is obviously edited for cable TV and has recaps which actually serve to underscore the top 10 killers. By the time one goes through the series this will mean you might just remember these killers due to the recaps and the final episode's review of the worst of the worst.

If you are intrigued by some of the darker critters lurking on our earth this series will give you insights to several different continents most deadly animals. It will do so using knowledgeable talking heads and sometimes introducing us to surviving victims. The overall presentation is done with a degree of entertainment using it's methods of introduction and danger level countdowns per episode wrapping all episodes up in a final countdown. I found it quite worth the time needed to watch. I think if you're curious about the topic you will too.

This series is everything but educational with occasionally even misleading or wrong information

It's a primitive representation of these wonderful animals, they even devalue them as creatures and killers, with an aggressively speaking host and even more aggressive music the whole series through!

If you want to scare your children, please show them this dreadful nonsense

Fairly decent but there is a certain amount of sensationalism to this show. Like putting so much emphasis on vampire bats which honestly aren't too big a threat. You can interact with those bats and not be bitten. And the claim that Chagas Disease isn't curable is wrong too.

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.

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.
