History
editCreated in April 1996 ahead of the launch of its digital satellite package AB Sat, AB Animaux was dedicated to animal documentaries.[2][3] In 1999, it was renamed as Animaux.
After rumours of the sale of the channel by AB Groupe at the start of 2006, the channel eventually ended up being exclusively shown on CanalSat by satellite at the time.[4]
On 1 May 2017, Animaux got its current rebranding.[5]
