Whether it's on set, at home or far from civilization, the animated accounts of unexpected and surprising encounters between animals and the celebrities who lived to tell their stories are featured in Animal Planet's new series, CELEBRITY ANIMAL ENCOUNTERS which premieres Friday, July 27 at 10PM ET/PT.
