off-topic rant
It could’ve been an awesome video if it weren’t for the painful (to me) constant hyper-hyped tone of voice and music. I understand that some dramatisation is good for video production, but this was too much. If you highlight everything, you are not highlighting anything.
Yeah, they can be a bit entertain-y/drama-y at times, but they also have some good videos that are more about regular exploring/conservation work every now and then. As long as it gets people interested in the subject I personally don’t mind too much.

Agree, it’s good to have different formats for different tastes.
To be fair, it’s a show for like tweens. It’s not a serious nature shows but more to get kids into learning about nature. Not far off from how Steve Irwin used to be. He was also very enthusiastic and over the top.
