Bloodier and Gorier: The series is intentionally more violent than other National Geographic Channel documentaries. It also censors less of the death.

Death of a Child: Used in the R-Rated Opening to show that Nature Is Not Nice. Not only is there a clip of dying lion cubs, but the first scene involves a warthog piglet being hunted by adolescent lions. Matsumi's newborn cubs get killed by their own pridemates. Saba's daughter is killed by Matsumi. When Sekekama's adolescent sons kill a buffalo calf, the narrator goes into Sarcasm Mode calling them "fine young calf killers". It's not hard at at all for three large lions to kill a tiny newborn. Afterwards, Sekekama steals his son's prey for himself.
