Problematic Rage of Orcas and Other Species
30 April 2021
In the first three-minutes alone, orcas are pronounces as killer whales. Although technically correct, these creatures are not that. The portrayal of them as such plays a huge downfall in conservation efforts. Not only that, but it makes people fear the seas instead of seeing them as the beautiful, magnificent, alien worlds that they are.

Careful portrayal of animals plays a critical part in preservation and conservation, so understanding how a movie affects viewers beliefs should have come into play when making this series.

The concept behind helping people learn about a variety of animals in the National Parks is great, but the way in which they are depicted is not.
