(Silver Spring, MD, June 4, 2013) - On the heels of a monster-performing May, Animal Planet springs toward summer with sky-high weekend performances, propelling Animal Planet toward its best week ever in Prime among key demos, including 1.1M P2+ viewers, 772K HH, 300K M25-54 and 288K M18-49. The season debut of fan-favorite CALL OF THE WILDMAN captured a series record 1.9M P2+ viewers, and newcomers TREEHOUSE MASTERS and TOP HOOKER each surpassed one million P2+viewers (1.3M, 1.2M) with its premieres.

The June 2 premiere of CALL OF THE WILDMAN ranks among Animal Planet's top-three series telecasts of all time among P2+ viewers, coming only behind last Monday's RIVER MONSTERS finale and tied with the show's "Killer Catfish" episode.

The episode also resonated strongly among children, delivering 343K Kids 2-11 and achieving a 1.1 rating.

Kicking off the weekend, the Friday, May 31 TREEHOUSE MASTERS series debut, "Twenty-ton Texas Treehouse" raked in a Texas-sized audience and performed strongly among all key demos, including 924K HH, 607K P25-54, 516K P18-49, 355K M25-54 and 252K W25-54. The premiere helped Animal Planet rank as the #3 ad-supported cable network (excluding movies) in the timeslot among the Persons and Men 25-54 demos.

Coupled with the season premiere of CALL OF THE WILDMAN, the Sunday, June 2 series-premiere performance of TOP HOOKER helped Animal Planet rank as the #5 ad-supported cable network in the night among M25-54, excluding movies and sports. The episode, "The Oldest Profession," baited 736K HH, 681 P25-54, 661K P18-49, 403K M25-54 and 392K M18-49.
