Forrest Galante is synonymous with the natural world, wilderness survival and animal expertise. During his youth living in Harare, Zimbabwe, Forrest developed a deep love and strong connection with the natural world that set him on his path in life. Galante's deep love with nature became deeper when he moved back to California after political unrest in Zimbabwe forced the family from their safari outfitters.
Through the course of his life, Forrest Galante has caught anacondas, swam with several species of sharks, photographed venomous reptiles, outsmarted a charging water buffalo, dodged an angry panther and had countless other adventures. He pursued a career in high-risk wildlife biology fieldwork, always focusing on animals on the edge of extinction. His 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 follows Galante as he travels the globe searching for creatures he believes have wrongfully been deemed extinct.
