The Greatest Explorer Alive!

Forrest Galante is synonymous with the natural world, outdoor survival and wildlife expertise. Growing up in Harare, Zimbabwe, Forrest harvested a life-long love of the natural world that put him on his path in life. Galante's deep relationship with nature strengthened when he moved back to California after political unrest in Zimbabwe forced his family from their farm and safari outfitters.

Through the course of his life, Forrest Galante has caught anacondas, swam with great white 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, always focusing on animals staring down extinction. His hands-on approach to wildlife, passion for nature and one-of-a-kind background has led to the development of his own television program, 'Extinct or Alive,' on Animal Planet. The show shadows Galante on expedition as he searchers the earth looking for animals believed to be extinct.
