ANIMAL PLANET ANNOUNCES FALL LINE UP FEATURING SMALL PAWS, BIGFOOT AND A CORNUCOPIA OF CREATURES IN BETWEEN

-- November Marks Return of FINDING BIGFOOT & PIT BOSS and Premiere Of FRONTIER EARTH PRESENTED BY WALMART -

(Silver Spring, Maryland) - This fall, Animal Planet's slate crisscrosses the United States and spans the globe to run the gamut of the animal world with the debut of two new shows and the return of several surprisingly human fan favorites. From pit bull puppies in New Orleans to sasquatches down under in Australia, to a myriad of other creatures of all sizes and origins, the network's fall line up leaves no forest unsearched, no stone unturned and no savannah unsupervised in transporting viewers from their couches to the electrifying and often emotional intersection of the human and animal world.

Highlighting the slate of programming is the return of familiar favorites FINDING BIGFOOT, PIT BULLS & PAROLEES and PIT BOSS. But, with a new location for Tia, an international expedition for the bigfoot investigation team and family drama weighing on Shorty, things may seem drastically different for fans of these shows.

In addition to the returning series, Animal Planet welcomes back some familiar faces while continuing the tradition of creating amazing natural-history programs with the television premiere of JANE'S JOURNEY and the world premiere of FRONTIER EARTH PRESETNED BY WALMART, hosted by large-predator expert Dave Salmoni.
