Animal Planet
Fauna documentary channel
Animal Planet is a cable television network featuring programming about wildlife, pets, and nature.
Launched in 1996, it broadcasts documentaries, reality shows, and educational content focused on animals and their environments: We watched a special about great white sharks on Animal Planet.
The name is sometimes used loosely to describe any animal-focused media content.
