I would allow older children (8+) to watch this channel with parental guidance to discuss animal safety and respect for wildlife, but not for younger children.
Best for ages 8-12 years. Not recommended under age 7. Acceptable for 7-14 years.
The themes of hunting, catching, and handling wild animals, some potentially dangerous, are better suited for older children who can understand safety precautions and ethical considerations.

Focus on hunting and catching wild animals raises some concerns.
Many videos, such as "Traditional way of catching wild animals with kids." and "The excitement of hunting fish and wild animals with kids.", depict children actively participating in catching various creatures. While presented as nature exploration, the emphasis on 'hunting' and 'catching' wild animals, including snakes and scorpions, may not be appropriate for all young children, potentially normalizing risky interactions with wildlife or promoting a view of animals primarily as objects to be captured.
Channel primarily features long-form videos, limiting addictive scrolling.
With only 2 Shorts out of the last 100 uploads, this channel focuses on longer-form content. This format encourages more sustained attention rather than rapid, short-burst viewing, which is generally better for children's developing attention spans.
Content involves children but themes might be too complex for toddlers.
The presence of children in videos like "Survival with kids" suggests an appeal to younger audiences. However, the activities, which often involve handling wild animals and discussions of 'hunting,' might be too advanced or potentially frightening for very young children, making the target age group somewhat unclear.
Limited explicit educational content, more focused on observation and activity.
While the channel showcases interactions with nature and animals, such as in "Learn how to catch insects and reptiles in the wild.", the primary focus appears to be on the act of catching and observing rather than providing detailed scientific information or fostering specific learning objectives about biology or ecology. The content is more experiential than instructional.
This channel features adults and children exploring nature, primarily focusing on catching various insects, reptiles, and small animals. Videos often show participants interacting directly with wildlife in outdoor settings. The content is presented as an adventure in the wild.
Parents should be aware that many videos depict children actively participating in catching and handling wild animals, including some that could be dangerous. The channel's emphasis on 'hunting' and 'survival' might not align with all families' values regarding wildlife interaction.
I would allow older children (8+) to watch this channel with parental guidance to discuss animal safety and respect for wildlife, but not for younger children.
Watch a few videos with your child first to assess if the content aligns with your family's approach to interacting with wildlife and discuss responsible animal handling.
