Animal Planet in Hindi too

Animal Planet introduces India-centric programmes in Hindi



Grin and bear it Well-defined time bands will help navigate the channel better

Animal Planet introduces a parallel 24-hour Hindi feed which includes a range of India-centric programmes from April 1.

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 crocodile man 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.

Viewers are also taken on a tour of the great works done by Lyndal Davis and Jane Goodall. “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 give viewers a chance 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” and “In Search of King Cobra.”
