Forrest Galante is known for his experience with the natural world, outdoor survival and wildlife expertise. During his youth living in Harare, Zimbabwe, Forrest developed a love and deep connection with the natural world that put him on his path in life. Galante's deep involvement with nature continued when he moved back to California after political unrest in Zimbabwe forced his family from their farm and safari outfitters.
Forrest Galante has caught crocodiles, swam with several species of sharks, photographed venomous snakes, outsmarted a startled hippo, dodged a cyclone and had countless other adventures. He began his career in high-risk wildlife biology fieldwork, with a focus on animals close to extinction. His hands-on approach with wildlife, love for the outdoors and one-of-a-kind background eventually led to the development of his own Animal Planet television program, 'Extinct or Alive.' The show shadows Galante on expedition as he searchers the world searching for creatures believed to be extinct.
