The book delves into the evolution of wildlife documentaries, highlighting their historical roots in colonial visual culture and their current prominence on television. It critiques the portrayal of animals as unmediated representations of nature, revealing how these narratives reflect societal ideologies regarding gender, sexuality, and race. By examining notable programs like "Wild Kingdom" and "Crocodile Hunter," the author connects the genre to larger discussions about media globalization and human-animal relationships, offering a comprehensive analysis of wildlife programming's cultural significance.
