History
Created in April 1996 ahead of the launch of its digital satellite package AB Sat, AB Animaux was dedicated to animal documentaries.{{Cite web |date=18 June 1996 |title=AB en guerre contre les câblo-opérateurs |url=https://www.lesechos.fr/1996/06/ab-en-guerre-contre-les-cablo-operateurs-836848 |website=Les Echos}}{{Cite web |date=24 December 1996 |title=AB Sat lance la commercialisation de son bouquet numérique |url=https://www.lesechos.fr/tech-medias/medias/vente-de-m6-avortee-retour-sur-un-feuilleton-epique-en-7-episodes-1865759}} 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.{{Cite web |last=UF |first=Equipe |date=2006-05-28 |title=[Màj] AB groupe a vendu Encyclopedia et Animaux |url=https://www.universfreebox.com/article/1385/Maj-AB-groupe-a-vendu-Encyclopedia-et-Animaux |access-date=2024-11-29 |website=Univers Freebox |language=fr-FR}}
