Dangerous torture episode

Most of the creature case episodes are close from being near perfect, but the silver ant chapter, stick out like a sore thumb, who were the thought that an episode of a seemingly solid franchise, actually offend me. Unlike the other desert episodes this was the only one where the two characters complain about the heat, and most of the episodes was about them running along with a silver ant called flash, and this was the longest I've ever seen them run. The setting of the episode, the actions, and the exaggeration of it all is too dangerous to show the kids. The episode does claim to have a message about never giving up, I don't mind the writers talking about these things, but if it's not executed right, then it makes it very convenient for people to mistake it for something else. I get that they're trying to acknowledge the facts of the animal, as silver ants have been known to be incredibly fast, and the ant does pass out in the episode, which of course makes sense because that happens in the real world, but you're also under the impression that Sam is a snow leopard, and kit, despite being a kit fox confesses that It can get too hot, even for hair. And throughout the entire time they were running, it showed to have no negative effect on them, and four-year-old children has gullible as they are, they might see this and get the impression that maybe it's safe to exercise during heat waves.

And practically every adult knows that it's not safe to exercise in heat waves especially in a desert, as that is more than enough to make anyone at great risk of heatstroke, so in other words, this chapter was painful to watch, made me sweat throughout the entire thing, and there's no way that the creators seriously think that this is okay to show to kids.

The silver ant chapter was bad. But swamp snapper, was a much better episode, that focuses on the two characters looking for a creature, that many of the locals consider to be a dinosaur.
