More blood, more guts, more things that read as terrible or cruel by human standards. I don't know if that's television standards changing, a change in popular science, or a desire for verisimilitude in said programs.

I see snatches in the electronics stores all the time, and the moment the big cats snap the neck of their prey seems to be shown much more often than in the heart-warning documentaries about elephant family groups I recall from my childhood. (One in particular sticks in my mind with a calf born unable to walk due to overly tight ligaments or something, and all the female elephants in the family hopefully rubbing it with their trunks. It walked after a few weeks.) Is it just me, or have nature documentaries got more explicit since the good old days?
