The lies are not necessary. Just preset the facts. In this episode, david attenborough in one scene, says that the den of an animal is empty, which misleads the viewer and immediately makes the viewer feel sad, because it was populated by pups in a previous scene... and then just 10seconds or so later, you see the pups come out and then you realize "oh, you just lied to me to build suspense". You shouldn't lie to the viewer. It's already bad enough with the GIANT amount of foley sounds that this entire series contains, which are literally fake sound effects, but to go EVEN FURTHER and straight up lie and make up facts just to evoke sadness from the viewer, is a real scum move, even for the BBC.
