Fatal Attractions is a recurring documentary series on Animal Planet. First aired in 2010, the show focused on humans who have kept animals as unconventional pets that have turned out to be dangerous and sometimes fatal. This program held a TV-14 rating due to the disturbing content in each episode.

Each episode dealt with either a species (chimpanzee, tiger) or a class (reptiles, big cats) of animals—referred to in the show as "exotic"—not normally regarded as domesticated pets. Generally, two or three stories about a person whose relationships with these animals turned tragic are intertwined.

Each story within an episode was told through flashbacks and re-enactments, narrated by actress Jana Sheldon. Subject-matter experts (SMEs), along with family members and surviving attack victims, excluding deceased attack victims were interviewed as part of the narrative.
