In an attempt to allow viewers to navigate the channel better, Animal Planet introduces well-defined time bands. The four one-hour long time-bands introduced are ‘Safari’ (Monday-Saturday, 8 p.m.), ‘Masters of the Jungle’ (Monday-Saturday, 9 p.m.), ‘Animal Planet Week’ (Monday-Sunday, 10 p.m.) and ‘Wild Encounters’ (Monday-Sunday, 11 p.m.).

‘Safari’ details the lifecycle of plant and animal lives; viewers will get to see the great Savannah to the picturesque landscapes of the Himalayas. It includes programmes on climate and its impact on flora and fauna.

‘Masters of the Jungle’ is a tribute to the bravest of wildlife enthusiasts who dare for a cause.

From David Attenborough to Steve Irwin, their styles differ but they all endeavour to explain some of the most complex animal behaviour and dispel the myths about some of the most feared animals.

‘Animal Planet Week’ will have a different theme each week such as Animal Face-Off Week, Planet Action Week and Big Cat Dairy Week. ‘Wild Encounters’ will enable viewers to witness close encounters of the predator and its prey, shot around the world.

Some of the India-centric programmes to be presented in the coming months include ‘Riding the Cobra Express with Jeff Corwin,’ ‘Tigers of the Sunderbans,’ ‘Ghost of the Ganges,’ ‘When Bamboo Flowers,’ ‘In Search of King Cobra’ and ‘Chasing Nature.’
