Check These Documentaries Like Tiger King On Netflix

Tiger King is one of Netflix’s biggest releases and definitely the most popular
documentary on the platform. It is based on the life of zookeeper and felon Joe
Exotic, who was involved in many criminal activities, including but not limited
to animal abuse and hire for murder. The docu-series is unpredictable, twisted,
provides many insights, and, let’s admit it, extremely weird. After devouring
Tiger King [https://www.netflix.com/title/81115994], here are other
documentaries like it on Netflix.

DOCUMENTARIES TO MOTIVATE YOU TO PROTECT ANIMALS

The main focus of Tiger King might have been a failing legal system with the
premise and backdrop were that of animal abuse and the lack of attention the
topic commands. Joe Exotic continued to abuse tigers for years without end and
his workers saw him. Many knew what the supposed “Tiger King” was up to, but no
one said a thing. Instead of paying attention to Carole Baskin and the movement
she supported, people focused on her personal life. Unsubstantiated theories
about her husband’s disappearance gained more popularity on social media than
Exotic’s proven crimes. This brings us to encourage our readers to watch animal
documentaries. They focus on how humans are harming wildlife and what big and
small changes they can make to prevent that.


CHASING CORAL



Social media has brought to attention the disappearance of coral reefs. But,

delves deeper into a campaign to bring to attention the intensity and impact of
the same.


DOGS



There are few on Earth that don’t absolutely adore these animals. From working
as service dogs to war veterans and the physically challenged to just being
loyal pets, dogs are beloved for a reason. This docu-series is about the bond
that humans form with dogs and why we need to cherish it. Although based on
animals widely loved, Dogs

reminds viewers that their empathy should not be based on aesthetic appeal. It
is not just the cute animals we must protect.


MISSION BLUE



If Sylvia Plath’s tender writing about the oceans isn’t motivating enough for
you to preserve the life that resides in it, oceanographer Sylvia Earle is here
to save the day. Mission Blue

is about her campaign to save the world’s ocean from overfishing and toxic
waste, a topic not given enough attention to.

DOCUMENTARIES LIKE TIGER KING – WEIRD, QUIRKY VERSION

Tiger King was insightful, yes, but that isn’t the reason it became so popular.
There are numerous other documentaries that talk about the crimes Joe Exotic
did. Each of them is significantly more convincing, thrilling, and haunting.
What made Tiger King stand out was its quirky nature. Joe Exotic was a man with
a mullet in the 21st century who falls in love quicker than he can learn
people’s names. On the other hand, there is Carole Baskin. As influential as the
woman is, she greets people with “hey you all cool cats and kittens” and wears
cat-eared headbands. The series was a rollercoaster ride, owing to its eccentric
nature.


BEHIND THE CURVE



The documentary on Netflix [https://netflixjunkie.com/category/news/] is about a
group of people who genuinely believe that the Earth is flat. No, they aren’t
being ironic. This group calls itself The Flat Earth Society, and that is all
the motivation you need to watch this documentary

brings to life an elevated version of the same. The identical triplets were
separated at birth and they later meet in college. They make headlines, bag a
film with pop icon Madonna, and start their own restaurant.


THE FAMILY



Conspiracy theories can only be taken seriously up to an extent. After a point,
they get comical. The Family [https://www.netflix.com/title/80063867] is a
documentary about a group of people controlling the world’s governments. No, it
not about the Illuminati. In fact, it’s about a contra-Illuminati group, a bunch
of orthodox Christians that refer to themselves as The Family.
