Forrest Galante is known for his experience with nature conservation, wilderness survival and animal expertise. Growing up in Harare, Zimbabwe, Forrest harvested a deep love and strong connection with nature and animals that seemed to map out his future. Galante's deep involvement with nature strengthened when he moved back to California after political unrest in Zimbabwe forced his family from their safari outfitters.
Over the course of his life, Forrest Galante has caught crocodiles, swam with several species of sharks, photographed venomous reptiles, outsmarted a startled hippo, dodged an angry panther and had countless other adventures. He pursued a career in high-risk wildlife biology fieldwork, which focuses on animals close to extinction. His approach to wildlife, love for nature and extraordinary background eventually led to the development of his own television program, 'Extinct or Alive,' on Animal Planet. The show shadows Forrest as he travels the globe looking for creatures believed to be extinct.
