Wildlife Portrayals

Wildlife Portrayals

Be selective in portrayals of wildlife (free-roaming animals) so as not to over-represent predatory-prey conflicts for dramatic purposes. Over reliance on tooth-and-claw representations imply nature and wildlife are primarily harsh and dangerous (in contrast to “civilized” human culture). Balance this with portrayals of more filial, cooperative, or symbiotic relations between wild species and among their family or community groups.
