For me, nature shows on TV which anthropomorphize everything, and cutely and whimsically, like: “…and here’s junior zebra at the water-hole. He better watch out because mommy lion is getting ready to go to work…” accompanied by the cute, child-like music (probably the stuff discussed in this thread: [Is there a name for this hyper-annoying singing style? - #25 by Jophiel](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/is-there-a-name-for-this-hyper-annoying-singing-style/677704/25)).

FFS! What’s wrong with “…on the savannah the zebras are gathered at the water-hole, but in the distance we can see that various predators, including lions, are appearing. In fact, crouching in the underbrush are two lionesses starting to stalk their prey…”?
