Forrest Galante is known for his experience with the natural world, outdoor survival and wildlife expertise. Growing up in Harare, Zimbabwe, Forrest harvested a life-long love of the natural world that put him on his path in life. After political unrest forced his family to move back to California, Forrest's love with the outdoors continued.
Throughout his journeys, Forrest Galante has caught crocodiles, swam with great white sharks, photographed venomous snakes, outsmarted a startled hippo, dodged a cyclone and had countless other adventures. He started out his career in high-risk wildlife biology fieldwork, which focuses on animals on the brink of extinction. His hands-on approach to wildlife, love for the outdoors and exceptional background has led to the development of his own Animal Planet television show, 'Extinct or Alive.' The show shadows Forrest as he travels the world looking for creatures believed to be extinct.
