Being on its 10th season, and at over 100 episodes per season, Animal Atlas has a truly staggering amount of factual content available for use in almost any educational environment.
The narration of the documentaries is upbeat and exciting, with the intent to make the viewer feel elated about learning. The narration does not sacrifice on clear and concise facts, and works them in an almost story-like fashion, often referring to the animals with human endearment.
While the show is very informative, its narration is highly suited for a younger audience and would be best used in a classroom setting or to entertain and teach a young child. However, the nature of the show definitely makes it useful as a resource for finding facts to use in a paper on a particular subject.
