Forrest Galante is a name synonymous with the natural world, outdoor survival and wildlife expertise. Growing up in Harare, Zimbabwe, Forrest harvested a life-long love of nature and animals that seemed to map out his future. After political unrest forced his family to move back to California, Forrest's involvement with the outdoors continued.
Through the course of his life, Forrest Galante has caught crocodiles, swam with great white sharks, photographed venomous snakes, outsmarted a charging water buffalo, dodged a cyclone and had countless other adventures. He pursued a career in high-risk wildlife biology fieldwork, always focusing 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 television show, 'Extinct or Alive,' on Animal Planet. The show shadows Forrest on expedition as he searchers the globe searching for species he believes have wrongfully been deemed extinct.
