nature doc
Filmed wilderness chronicle
A nature doc is a nature documentary—a film or television program about wildlife, ecosystems, or natural phenomena.
The term is casual shorthand: We stayed in and watched nature docs all weekend.
The genre typically features stunning cinematography and narration explaining animal behavior or environmental processes.
