Forrest Galante is known for his experience with nature conservation, outdoor survival and wildlife expertise. Growing up in Harare, Zimbabwe, Forrest harvested a deep love and strong connection with nature that seemed to map out his future. Galante's deep love with nature became deeper when he moved back to California after political unrest in Zimbabwe forced his family from their safari operations.
Through the course of his life, Forrest Galante has caught crocodiles, swam with great white sharks, photographed venomous reptiles, outsmarted a startled hippo, dodged a cyclone and had countless other adventures. He pursued a career in high-risk wildlife biology fieldwork, with a focus on animals on the brink of extinction. His approach with wildlife, love for the outdoors and extraordinary background eventually led to the development of his own television show, 'Extinct or Alive,' on Animal Planet. The show follows Forrest on expedition as he searchers the world searching for animals he believes have wrongfully been deemed extinct.
